Samurai Princess
サムライプリンセス 外道姫
When 11 of her friends are raped and murdered, leaving the Samurai Princess (Aino Kishi) the only survivor, she becomes infused with her comrades' souls. Transformed into an android, she sets out to avenge their deaths. Dai Mizuno co-stars as the princess's human partner in this Kengo Kaji-directed gore fest that features breast grenades, detachable chainsaw limbs, deadly guitar riffs and more.
Why it matters
A gleefully bonkers fusion of cyberpunk samurai revenge and ultra-gory body horror that wears its exploitation roots with unapologetic pride.
- Practical gore effects crank the splatter to absurd levels—think detachable chainsaw arms and breast grenades, a love letter to practical FX madness.
- Aino Kishi’s android avenger channels a weird blend of stoic samurai and over-the-top action heroine, anchoring the chaos with deadpan intensity.
- For fans of wild genre mashups—part cybernetic revenge thriller, part grindhouse gorefest—this is pure unfiltered mayhem.
- Kengo Kaji leans into exploitation tropes while delivering inventive set pieces, making it a cult playground for gore hounds and B-movie devotees alike.
