Blood the Last Vampire: What 's Japanese, Chinese, French, American and Red all over?

Everyone will remember the Blood the Last Vampire anime as a a gritty tease with an anticlimactic ending but Chris Nohan, French Director of the Jet Li film Kiss of the Dragon has managed to breathe some new life int to the underground anime icon. The movie is composed of two parts feminine bad ass and eight parts kung fu gang slaughter. Gianna Jun plays the damaged half-ling Saya who butchers her way through Tokyo, while Allison Miller admirably portrays the out of place character of Allison; the American army brat who was neither a part of the anime series cast of characters Blood the Last Vampire: Blood+ or the original short and is likely a way for the Nohan and the producers to make an English film based on a Japanese movie. Still the movie is entertaining enough to keep your interest until the end credits mostly because of the director's ability to create narrative out of a brawl.
