      A very welcome addition to the franchise

      So far the best I have seen of the V-Cinema era films from Toei. If you're a fan of the original Female Prisoner Scorpion series, you're going to love this one.

Definitely worth checking out for fans of the franchise and fans of revenge films in general.
