Following in the bloody footsteps of The Machine Girl and Tokyo Gore Police by way of Mad Max, Robocop and The Bionic Woman, Hard Revenge Milly is a hyper-violent tale of vengeful retribution garnished with geysers of gore and viscera dished out by a heroine who is to die for. Written and directed by Takanori Tsujimoto (Kill) and starring Miki Mizuno (Sasori; Carved) as the eponymous heroine, the extreme Japanese splatter action-thriller Hard Revenge Milly and its sequel Hard Revenge Milly: Bloody Battle come to DVD in April as a special double-bill release courtesy of Cine Asia.

Hard Revenge Milly (Hâdo ribenji, Mirî, 2008)
In a near-future, post-apocalyptic Japan, Tokyo has become a wind swept desert while Yokahama City has been taken over by gangs of vicious criminals, the worst among them being the notorious 'Jack Brothers'. Butchered and left for dead by Jack and his gang after being tortured and forced to witness the murder of her husband and infant child, Milly (Miki Mizuno) awakes in a deserted hospital to find herself miraculously alive and now in possession of a partly mechanized body. With nothing left to live for and driven only by revenge, Milly vows to hunt down the killers and to settle the score. First learning the art of sword combat from a master swordsman, she eventually embarks on a journey that can only lead her to straight to Hell.

Hard Revenge Milly: Bloody Battle (Hâdo ribenji, Mirî: Buraddi batoru, 2009)
Having tracked down and confronted the Jack Brothers, Milly is approached by a beautiful girl named Haru (Nao Nagazawa) who asks her to help find and kill the person responsible for murdering her boyfriend. Initially reluctant to become involved in any more bloodshed, Milly recognizes and identifies with Haru's passion for vengeance and agrees to train her so she may exact her own revenge. But no sooner have they begun than they are accosted by a gang of Jack's sycophants who want Milly dead once and for all. Led by a cyborg-armed psychopath named Ikki, they prove not only to be a match for Milly and Haru, they are also found to be in possession of a secret that could drive a deadly stake between the two women.

Boasting incredible, over-the-top special makeup effects by the Japanese king of gore, Yoshihiro Nishimura (the man responsible for the effects seen in RoboGeisha, Vampire Girl vs. Frankenstein, Samurai Princess, The Machine Girl and Tokyo Gore Police), superbly choreographed sword and fist fight sequences and introducing a hot new female action star in the form Miki Mizuno, the Hard Revenge Milly movies are a definite must-see experience for extreme splatter fans everywhere.

The Hard Revenge Milly double-bill will be released on DVD by Cine Asia on 5th April 2010 at a price to be confirmed. No extras have yet been confirmed.
