Not to be confused with the various retellings of Poe's famous tale, Black Cat is a high-octane Hong Kong action thriller that provides a hugely entertaining pre-curser to the likes of Tarantino's Kill Bill Vol 1 (2003) and south Korean cult classic, The Villainess (2017).
When Catherine (Jade Leung), a mentally disturbed young woman, is detained by the police after accidentally killing a truck driver, she finds herself part of a covert training system. Programmed as an assassin, having learned a host of new deadly skills, she becomes a lethal government weapon, codenamed Black Cat.
Director Steven Shin (Brotherhood, Easy Money, Black Cat 2), had initially intended to make a straight up remake of Luc Besson's La Femme Nikita (1990) but when Disney bought out the rights he was forced to rethink. His solution was Black Cat, a slick, action packed gun toting thrill ride.

Another great collectors edition from 88 films. And a great addition to their ever growing CAT III titles, hopefully we could get Naked Killer in the future. One of the first remakes/reinterpretations of Luc Besson’s La Femme Nikita. The film plays out very similar to the original, but with a few HK cinema changes. Very happy with the set, includes reversible cover featuring original artwork, poster, postcard and booklet. Extras are interesting and another great commentary from Mike Leeder and Arne Venema. Great delivery service from Zavvi, arrive will packaged and quick delivery. Overall very happy with everything.
