Angel terminators 2

Moon Lee is an amnesic fugitive, it is caused by the release from prison of Yukari Oshima’s petty triad figure “Bullet” who enrages her estranged police officer father (and just about everyone else she has contact with). In both films the unanticipated intrusion brings death in its wake, destroying both couples by attracting the lethal attention of gangs. Both male partners are killed while making futile, protective gestures. As everything comes crashing down and her friends are kidnapped and killed, Bullet publicly refuses to accept responsibility. But privately she’s forced back on rather twisted martial honor, dying in savage, bloody slow motion. The momentary intensity of Bullet’s death – wielding a knife and Molotov cocktail – mirrors her character’s life.
