3	->''Snow gently falls on the blood-stained streets of a seedy out-of-time New York City. Steam envelopes the nightmare unfolding within its narrow alleys. Iron is the will of the one who would dare to resist... fight... survive.''

10	----
11	!!Provides examples of:
12
13	* TheThirties: By the look of it, it's the era the piece is set in.
14	* AlasPoorYorick: Scarlett strikes poses with a bearded man's decapitated head.
15	* AnachronicOrder: The events do not unfold in a linear manner.
16	* ColorWash: The colors are muted, as expected with the director. It makes it appear cold and surreal.
17	* CreatorThumbprint: The short's ColorWash and extremely detailed slow motion are enough to instantly identify it as a Zack Snyder work. The allusions to classical religious art - specifically, pieces depicting Judith beheading Holofernes - make it even easier. In fact, you can certainly refer to this short if anyone ever asks you to describe how Zack Snyder directs.
18	* DeadlyDodging: Lin dodges a gangster's chopper just as he was about to kill her with it, and it hits the gangster who was restraining her instead.
19	* DirtyCop: Cops are seen helping gangsters to get rid of Lin.
20	* DramaticGunCock: When Lin Woo is about to point blank shoot the head of the cop who brutalized her.
21	* DropDeadGorgeous: Scarlett's dead bare-breasted body is seen about one minute into the short. She's seen alive later in it due to the AnachronicOrder.
22	* FanDisservice: A bare-breasted Scarlett on a chair... holding a decapitated head. And she almost [[ALoveToDismember kisses it]].
23	* GoryDiscretionShot: At least two of them: one when Lin Woo chops off the arm of a cop, and one other when she fires a gun at point blank on the head of the last remaining cop.
24	* LawmanBaton: The {{dirty cop}}s carry batons. Lin turns one against its owner and sends his TeethFlying with it.
25	* ALoveToDismember: Scarlett's nose touches the decapitated head's own and almost kisses it at one point. And she's bare-breasted.
26	* MsFanservice: Scarlett is bare-breasted for most of her screentime.
27	* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: Lin massacring the mafia men and DirtyCops after they tried to kill her (and after receiving a beating from one of them) counts as this, and also possibly out of revenge for the murder of Scarlett.
28	* ShoutOut: Scarlett holding the head of a bearded man (a mafia boss perhaps) brings [[Literature/BookOfJudith Judith and Holofernes]] to mind.
29	* SnowMeansDeath: There's snow when Lin kills the gangsters and {{Dirty Cop}}s who came for her.
30	* TeethFlying: Lin sends several of the teeth of the cop who beat her up early on flying when she hits his face with a police baton.
31	* TheVoiceless: No one speaks, there is no dialogue. The music, objects noises and a few shouts of pain make most of the short's sound design.
