Betrayed by her fiancé, Okatsu finds herself aided in her quest by a handsome stranger (yakuza film star Tatsuo Umemiya) who happens to be as handy with a sword as she is!

Customer Reviews

Great Chambara Samurai Film!
This is a great samurai (chambara/jidai-geki) film, filled with loads of swordplay, villainy, and heroism. I'm quite confused as to why the film distributors labeled this film as "pinky violence." Those seeking "pinky violence" will be quite disappointed, as this film is no more "pinky violence" than any of a score of regular samurai films.

The hero of this film is a samurai swordswoman on the path of revenge to avenge the death of her parents by corrupt clan members. Miyazono Junko is fabulous as the expert swordswoman O-Katsu. After her parents' torture and deaths, she wanders the countryside seeking vengeance and, on the way, uses her flashing sword to save helpless people from various villains. Great film, especially for those (such as myself) who are tired from the weeping, wafting, helpless females that infect too many films all over the world. O-Katsu provides an example of a strong woman who can take care of herself as she seeks righteousness.

My Review Of Okatsu The Fugitive
Okatsu The Fugitive is the final chapter of the Leagends Of ThePoisonous Seductress trilogy. Okatsu now finds herself a wanted woman from various samurai clans. Along the way, she befriends a trusting swordsman and together, they fought and slew Okatsu's enemies. I recommend the entire three-part DVD set to any fan of classic Japanese bad-girl films.
