Years after being assaulted, a young woman (Juliet Chan) seeks bloody revenge on the
five men responsible. She is aided by a retired hitman sympathetic to her plight
('Tattooer Ma' Sha) and a group of like-minded girlfriends. One by one, each of the
creeps are caught in a trap and done away with, but her final quarry has a few tricks up
his sleeve, leading to a violent climactic confrontation. KILL BUTTERFLY KILL (aka
UNDERGROUND WIFE) is a prime example of the so-called 'Black Movie',
an exploitation sub-genre popular during the early 1980s in Taiwan. Though cheaply
made, these were stylish and potent action films with often socially conscious aims and
two feet planted firmly in the gutter.
Presented here in a new 4K restoration from the best surviving elements is the export
English language cut of the film prepared by the notorious IFD Films. This slightly better
cut differs from the original Mandarin language version known as UNDERGROUND
WIFE, which is also presented here in a 4:3 'fullscreen' SD print. Finally, this set also
features the absolutely gonzo 1987 cut of the film, AMERICAN COMMANDO 6: KILL
BUTTERFLY KILL, which features new scenes starring IFD regulars Mike Abbot and
Mark Miller, from a 4K scan of the OCN. All of these various versions of this unique film
are here making their official US home video and worldwide Blu-ray premieres.
(Please note: The best surviving elements were used for these restorations and some
scenes are not ideal. We hope that doesn't hurt your enjoyment of these films)
