'Kunoichi' On US DVD

 

Section 23 have announced the US DVD release of 'Kunoichi' (AKA 'Ninja Girl') for the 24th July, 2012. Written and directed by Seiji Chiba ('Alien Vs. Ninja'), the film stars 19-year-old karate idol and actress Rina Takeda as a female ninja who attempts to rescue a group of women being held captive.

Synopsis

As the long, brutal and bloody war between the Iga and Koga ninja wages on, it is the women of the rival clans who pay the heaviest price. The kunoichi must fight alongside their fathers and brothers, they must bury their sons and their husbands, and when captured themselves, are denied an honorable death and instead reduced to sex slaves for the purpose of slaking the savage and twisted desires of their former foes. But when Iga warriors Shimotsuki and Hyotsu kidnap four Koga women, they soon learn that killing the beautiful ninja girl Kisaragi would have been a far wiser course of action. For a kunoichi is never unarmed, even when naked, and Kisaragi is deadlier than most.
