"LOVE HONOR DEATH VENGEANCE"
FADE IN:
EXT. DARK ALLEYWAY - NIGHT
A beautiful young GEISHA GIRL runs scared, she looks back
over her shoulder, she slips, falls, cries out in pain.
Four GANGSTERS in big suits catch up with her. They surround
her, laughing. One roughly tears her kimono exposing creamy
breasts. The Gangsters leer. She tries to cover herself.
GANGSTER #1
Pretty little thing, ain't ya now?
Geisha Girl looks past him, at someone else. The Gangsters
spin round. SWORDSMAN stands in the alley mouth, a black
silhouette, his naked katana blade gleaming.
SWORDMAN
Release her and you live.
The four Gangsters draw guns and SHOOT till they're out of
bullets. But when the smoke clears, Swordsman is gone.
Swordsman lands among them, his blade slashes, zip zip zip
zip, purple guts splash, the Gangsters scream and collapse.
Geisha Girl throws herself into Swordsman's arms and sobs.
GEISHA GIRL
They told me you were dead!
SWORDMAN
Yes...
GEISHA GIRL
They were Boss Renko's men!
Swordsman's eyes narrow. Anger burns within.
EXT. BOSS RENKO'S OFFICE - NIGHT
BOSS RENKO, an ugly scarred sadist, looks up in surprise.
BOSS RENKO
You! Impossible! You are dead!
A katana sword zips through him. Blood gushes. He dies.
GEISHA GIRL
What did he mean?
SWORDMAN
I made a deal with the master of
Hell. To come back and save you.
GEISHA GIRL
No! It cannot be! Stay with me!
She is alone. Geisha Girl weeps, her love is gone forever.
