Snippet:
A breakout star of hyperviolent action movies in the early 1970s, Meiko Kaji is best known for Toei’s “Sasori” (“Scorpion”) series, playing the eponymous laser-eyed female convict out for revenge against the men who betray, abuse and torture her. Even though she has largely been absent from the big screen for decades, the actor retains a fervent cult following in the West.
