"Hard Revenge Milly" and "Hard Revenge Milly: Bloody Battle" coming to R1 DVD

US/Hong Kong distributor Well Go USA will be releasing Takanori Tsujimoto's 2008 martial arts gore flick "Hard Revenge Milly" and its 2009 sequel "Hard Revenge Milly: Bloody Battle" on single DVD in January. Both had their North American premiere at the New York Asian Film Festival back in June.

In Hard Revenge Milly, abolition of gun control laws at some indeterminate point in the future causes Yokohama to become a lawless bastion of violent crime. The worst of the new breed of criminals, "The Jack Brothers" -- named for their leader, Jack (Mitsuki Koga) -- brutally murder the husband and baby of Milly (Miki Mizuno) in front of her eyes and leave her for dead. Milly survives the incident and vows to get revenge. After visiting a master craftsman named Jubei to have a special sword gauntlet repaired, Milly infiltrates the abandoned factory the Jack Brothers use as their base of operations and murders Jack's henchmen one by one, leading to a final bloody showdown.
