Could Lucy Lu's character not find fittings for he sword in Japan??? I mean the shirasaya looks k3w1 but unless it is in ttorafe or needs to look like a bokken.... whats the point?? And as for the Yakaza.... why swords??? It would be soooooo easeir to just shoot her! Really, even if hie cut the bullet in 1/2 then shi would have 2 bullets comming at her. And as for her killing the mother.... what a evil b***! PS - Girls look sooo cute in Kimono (=^o^=) 可愛い!!!!
