Review of Lady Snowblood 2: Love Song of Vengeance (1974) by James L — 27 Jun 2017

I am a huge fan of Lady Snowblood and was very excited to see it's sequel. Unfortunately, it was very disappointing. I think the plot in theory is a good idea, but it was executed in a very confusing way.

Lady Snowblood, a cold-blooded master assassin who is arrested for her crimes, is given her conditional freedom by a secret government agency so long as she kills a popular anarchist. I don't understand how you can mess up a plot that interesting.

Additionally, the use of color and the artistic imagery of the first movie were noticeably absent. I suppose this movie is a good example of why a sequel is not always a good idea.
