Product Description

Zero Department fights for the fealty of its solitary assassin, Zero Woman, when a fumbling waiter melts her icy heart and tries to rescue the world-weary killer from her soul-crushing life. But is her callous, conniving boss right when he insists "There is no place for you but in the Zero Force"? Mikiyo Ohno milks Zero Woman's solitude for tortured loneliness and turns her violent destiny into something approaching pulp tragedy: "I have yet another memory that can't be erased," she laments after yet another fatal showdown. The high-concept hits (she miraculously pulls a gun from her clinging bathing suit to ace a businessman in a swimming pool) and sexual interludes (the nerdy boyfriend scores big-time booty!) are shuffled through a barrage of flashbacks and a subplot about a scarred masseuse whose secret weapon is poison body oil. Sort of takes the fun out of foreplay, doesn't it? Like most of the films in the series, the shot-on-video production manages to turn a low budget into an austere style, but the busy script often gets in the way of the visceral thrills and bogs the story down in unnecessary detail. She shoots people and she likes to get naked: what's there to explain? --Sean Axmaker

Zero Woman - The Hunted [VHS] Review

I'm one of those casual film buffs who are intrigued with what folks can accomplish with limited resources. After megadoses of Terminator-esque computerized special effects, I love a good low budget flick where the film makers make the most with what they have. While this flick has its flaws, it is oh-so worthwhile to check out. Natsuki Ozawa plays "Zero Woman," an anonymous secret police agent in the "La Femme Nikita" mode. The differences between Zero and Nikita deal both the plus and minus cards in the flick. The minus is that we learn little about what landed Zero Woman into her career as a killer for the law. Such a drag, because they did give a hint of depth to her by revealing that despite her long string of successful and flawless hits, she never gets over the chill of bumping off people. She looks smooth, calm, even poetic when executing a baddy, yet she has morals enough to stay on the right side of the law, and not buy into "police loyalty" if a cop goes crooked. She is an intriguing character, which impressed me in such a low budget shoot 'em up flick. Just a little more explanation into her former life and background would have vaulted this from a slick B-Movie to a top notch low budget hit in the tradition of "El Mariachi."The plus? I have seen scores of "killer chick flicks." I enjoy them whether they be artsy "La Femme Nikitas," or cheapy "Switchblade Sisters." However, while these gals are sexy with provocative dress and implied sensuality, Natsuki Ozawa drives new meaning into the notion "steamy & sultry!" There are numerous scenes of a topless Ozawa (including one where she tears a blood stained dress off her body while driving away from a hit during the night)that are genuinely sensuous, and come off as much more than cheap T&A shots. Many of these partially-clad scenes show her sporting her gun; yes, real life violence is horrid, but chicks who shoot guns in movies are sexy!If there is one major turn off in this film, it is the repeated use of the villains sexually assaulting their victims to incite the viewers anger. If the rest of the film was not so well made, I would have tossed the DVD out midway.If you opt for the dubbed instead of the subtitled option, the dubbing is not too bad with the exception of the drugged out villainess whose voice is more than annoying: her dubbed voice is toxic, like an amped-up version of the Mrs. Swann character on Mad TV.All in all, this is an impressive flick done on what looks like a shoestring budget. Natsuki Ozawa's performance is top notch, as are most of the performers. Worth checking out.
