Rating: 3 stars
Summary: First Mission, actually
Review: First of all, the promo is mistaken. Natsuki Ozawa is not in this one. Rei is played by Naoko Iijima. She does an OK job, but she's no Ozawa, and not even Ozawa could save this installment.

The plot - a powerful and ruthless corporate type has paid off the police - is so cliche. Worse yet, the story revolves around how he has the police cover for the misdeeds of his sadomasochistic daughter.

Lots of disgusting S&M type scenes. And when its all over, there isn't even the requisite revenge, because Rei doesn't kill everyone who deserves it.

I would recommend Zero Woman and Zero Woman Returns, in that order, but not this one.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Worst of the series

Summary: First Mission, actually
Review: This is actually the first film in the "Zero Woman" series. But it's the last to be released in America, and so was given the rather confusing subtitle "Final Mission". If you liked the others, you should like this one. I'd put it on a par with "Zero Woman" (which is actually "Zero Woman 2"; this is the original "Zero Woman"), and above the later ones. This was made before Naoko Iijima became famous (in Japan), and she's apparently embarrassed about it. It doesn't appear in any of her official filmographies...
