Zero Woman (Japanese: ゼロウーマン) is a Japanese film series chronicling the adventures of a young lady named Rei, who, working for the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department secret agency called Zero Division, goes undercover to infiltrate and then later assassinate drug kingpins, mercenaries, and various criminals and their henchmen. The series is popular for its bloodiness and violent sequences.
The films do not entirely explain how the protagonist joins the secret agency. It was meant to be an ongoing film series, like the James Bond film series.
Famous quotes containing the word woman:
“For my part, I have no hesitation in saying that although the American woman never leaves her domestic sphere and is in some respects very dependent within it, nowhere does she enjoy a higher station . . . if anyone asks me what I think the chief cause of the extraordinary prosperity and growing power of this nation, I should answer that it is due to the superiority of their woman.”
—Alexis de Tocqueville (1805–1859)
