導演︰鈴木清順
Director: Suzuki Seijun

　　殺手百人榜排名No.3的皆月美有樹，外號野良貓，志願是坐正排行榜No.1。今天，她要執行的任務，是到酒店射殺一名女子。原本簡單的任務，卻突然起了變化。她發現另一名坐著輪椅的殺手一直跟蹤著自己，在危急的情況下，她終於殺死了對手，可是整個過程卻讓一名小女孩目擊了。身為職業殺手，野良貓理應滅口，免除後患，可是，她卻下不了手。今次，認真麻煩了！

　　Suzuki Seijun, the legendary Japanese director probably best known for the cult hit BRANDED TO KILL, returns with this movie about a league of killers for hire. Something of a sequel to BRANDED TO KILL, the film stars Esumi Makiko as a killer named Miyuki Minazuki but known as "Stray Cat", the number three assassin in Japan is professional killer guild. As in its predecessor, number three is contacted by the guild and ordered to kill number one. Knowing that if she succeeds she will become number one, Miyuki embarks on a difficult and dangerous mission to kill the elusive number one. Told in Suzuki is trademark style that blends a fractured narrative with lurid and heavily stylized action sequences, PISTOL OPERA is another brilliant work from a great director.

Too artsy for me Customer Review Rated Bad 2 - 2 out of 10
Like any foreign film, word for word translations are difficult & you'd think this film would be better in it's original language but, by me being able to understand Japanese, it doesn't help all that much. If you're expecting intrigue or facinating fight/assasin assignment situations, you might as well look else where. If there was a sophisticated message with artsy fartsy symbolism in some of these confusing scenes, then my brain is pickled because I just didn't see it. If you're writing some philosophy, symbolism paper on this movie, forward me a copy I'd like to know what I'm missing.

Misunderstood Movie Customer Review Rated Bad 7 - 7 out of 10
I've seen a lot of reviews on a lot of websites for this movie and, quite frankly, it's not so bad as everyone had made it out to be! First off, don't go into this movie thinking it's going ot act as a sequel to Branded To Kill. It is loosely related, but definately not to be considered a sequel in my opinion. Also, this movie is very artsy and the dialouge is... interesting. So is the plot. The acting is good and the soundtrack is excellent. I enjoyed the film and would watch it again.

Ok at first... Customer Review Rated Bad 3 - 3 out of 10
This movie was ok at first, but it got way too artsy. Thiry minutes or so into it I thought I was watching a movie by a film school student. It would've been great if it had been kept simple and straightforward. This was the tale of an assassin(a damn good looking one) trying to get by in her trade and become the "Number 1" killer. I'm not sure how good the translation was, but the dialouge is mostly terrible. Some situations and moments made no sense(as well as some of the english spoken dialouge). Certain parts of the movie I felt I was watching a stage show. I left this movie thinking I could rewrite it to make it 10 times better. Rent this one if possible, I made the mistake of buying it.
