Kate may have received negative reviews, but its incorporation of fun elements like fizzy drinks give the film an element of fun.> Lemon is rich in Vitamin C, which unfortunately cannot do much good for someone slowly dying of poison. Lemon, described as “the No.1 lemon-flavoured carbonated drink in Japan for over 20 years” (via Suntory), is the closest comparison to Kate's favorite beverage. Unfortunately, Boom Boom Lemon is not a real drink. The soda was created solely for the purposes of the film, but it does have a close equivalent in real life. Even as Kate's own idea of family is shattered with Varrick's double-crossing, she cannot help but still crave his first gift to her: Boom Boom Lemon.
In Kate, she and Ani bond over both feeling alone in the world, and Kate's confrontation with Kijima spurs him into taking a more active role watching over his niece. Winstead played a similar role in Birds of Prey protecting a vulnerable child from corrupt characters. Despite the rocky start to their relationship, Kate feels protective of Ani. In the months since, Ani has grown bitter and lonely. Kate kidnaps Ani early on as an attempt to lure Kijima out of hiding, all the while haunted by the memory of the last time she saw Ani, which is to kill her father.

Kate may be a violent movie about assassins, but it is also a movie about family. Even as she defeats Varrick and destroys his operation, Kate’s affection for the man who raised her remains. Yet, despite learning of Varrick's treachery, Kate still happily drinks Boom Boom Lemon one final time when Kijima offers it to her. This fondness for Varrick, expressed through her love of the fizzy drink, makes his eventual betrayal all the more heartbreaking. The movie reveals little about her real family, but it is presumed that she lost her parents at a young age and Varrick took over caregiving duties along with training her to become an assassin. Ever since, she associated the drink with fond memories of the closest thing to family she ever had. Kate’s handler Varrick introduced her to Boom Boom Lemon as a child. But why is she so obsessed with finding some? As she and Kijima travel together to rescue his niece, Ani (Miku Martineau), Kijima finally gives Kate the drink she has been craving. Every vending machine and convenience store is out of the drink, and Kate has all but lost hope of tasting any one last time until right before the final showdown. Throughout the film, she repeatedly tries to find the drink with no success. She uses that precious time to enact revenge on her presumed poisoner, only to later learn that the real culprit is her handler Varrick (Woody Harrelson).Īs Kate tries desperately to track down Kijima (Jun Kunimura), who she believes to be responsible for her poisoning, she is also on the hunt for the fizzy soda called Boom Boom Lemon.
Kate is about a skilled hitman (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) based in Japan who has less than 24 hours left to live after being poisoned.
While the trained assassin in Netflix’s Kate fulfills one final mission, she is also searching for the Japanese fizzy drink Boom Boom Lemon.
