Kill Butterfly Kill: Years after being assaulted by five men, Tang Mei-Ling (Juliet Chan) -- or Donna, depending on the language you choose -- hunts them down one by one, joined by Richard, a retired hitman ("Tattooed Ma" Sha) and several of her girlfriends. She's spent six years to get bloody revenge and she's going to take her time getting it.
The wild thing is that there are times that this is a rape revenge movie, other times when it's an action film and then moments when it gets surreal. Fog rolls in, neon lighting takes over and Tang Mei-Ling becomes a female demon, purring that she wants to kill. The entire screen itself gets taken over and moves and bends and distorts as we become part of her destruction of these evil men.
Also known as Underground Wife, this is a Taiwan black movie that shares exploitation themes and action with socially conscious themes. That said, these films never forget that they are scummy.
