About Wandering Ginza Butterfly: She-Cat Gambler
Meiko Kaji reprises her role as Nami, a vengeful female gang leader, in the second installment of this high-action series that casts a new actor -- martial arts legend Sonny Chiba -- in the role of Nami's loyal friend Ryuji. This time around, Nami is looking for Hoshiden, the man who murdered her father and shattered her once-hopeful childhood. But living under an assumed name, Hoshiden could stay hidden forever.
Directed by Kazuhiko Yamaguchi, Wandering Ginza Butterfly: She-Cat Gambler leans on a strong ensemble — Meiko Kaji, Sonny Chiba, Junzaburō Ban — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about action titles of 1972.
