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:
“... the movie woman’s world is designed to remind us that a woman may live in a mansion, an apartment, or a yurt, but it’s all the same thing because what she really lives in is the body of a woman, and that body is allowed to occupy space only according to the dictates of polite society.”
—Jeanine Basinger (b. 1936)
