A wild mash-up of genres, Die Hard Angels mixes girls-with-guns action and '80s horror tropes with amazing results.

I don't speak Japanese, and have yet to find a subtitled version, so I only have a basic understanding of the plot: a team of seven women, each with a particular skill (swordplay, computers, seduction, etc.), take on a rampaging maniac who's been brought back from the dead! Their mission takes them to an island resort, where they attempt to uncover the conspiracy that allowed a brawny lunatic to become Zombie Man.

There's a sequel that's a direct continuation of the story, and they really should be watched together. But don't worry, this first part has enough good stuff to make you fall in love. Besides the awesome ladies, there are nods to such disparate movies as Evil Dead 2 and The Terminator. We get a little of everything here, and it's all great.

I don't think there's been any kind of official DVD release, but it can definitely be found if you look hard enough.
