Lady battle cop is a Japanese film made in 1991, it features a tennis player and her partner, they have a run in with a terrorist group and she is subsequently transformed into a cyborg known as "Lady cop" or "Battle cop". She seems unstoppable until the same terrorists bring a super powered mutant to match off against them, time will tell who is the victor.
The setting is Neo Tokyo, at the turn of the millennium. The international crime syndicate "Cartel" sets up base in Japan. Its Japanese HQ headed by Henry Oba (Shiro Sano), its elite commando squad, "Team Phantom" (led by Masashi Ishibashi) has covertly spread through 75% of the city. To try to counter Cartel and find the whereabouts of Oba, Mobile Police Bureau's Detective Masaru Saijo (Kisuke Yamashita) is on the case, and his friend, scientist Naoya Koizumi (Yuki Kitazume), is heading a robotics program to assist the Police. Unfortunately, Koizumi and his girlfriend, champion tennis player Kaoru Okoshiba (Azusa Nakamura), are attacked at his laboratory by both Team Phantom and Cartel's ultimate weapon, "Amadeus" (Masaru Matsuda), a hulking, musclebound criminal with powerful telekinesis. Both Koizumi and Kaoru are mortally wounded in the brutal, explosive attack and left for dead. One year later, Team Phantom tries to secure the remainder of Neo-Tokyo. Detective Saijo is on their trail, but when he gets caught, he is saved by an armored female cyborg called "Battlecop," who turns out to be Kaoru; after the previous year's assault, a dying Koizumi successfully saved Kaoru's life by integrating her body with amazing cybernetic technology, enhanced by an bulletproof electronic suit of armor. As Battlecop, Kaoru is determined to avenge the late Koizumi and herself by hunting down and destroying her assailants (both Team Phantom and Amadeus), and their superiors at Cartel.—John Cassidy
