Sex & Fury / Furyo anego den: Inoshika Ocho (1973) Director: Norifumi Suzuki
Cast: Reiko Ike, Akemi Negishi, Christina Lindberg
From the creator of the sukeban, or delinquency, genre of Japanese sexploitation films, comes this explosion of violence, sex, and just plain fun. Cult icon Reiko Ike stars as Ocho Inoshika, a pickpocket and gambler who gets into a heap of trouble when she meets the three villains responsible for her father's death. After providing refuge for an anarchist on the lam, Inoshika gets on the wrong side of some Yakuza baddies who want her dead, and she is forced to fight for her life. Meanwhile, a beautiful European spy (Christina Lindberg, THRILLER: A CRUEL PICTURE) sets about implementing the evil plot of her diplomat boss. A milestone of pop culture madness that influenced Quentin Tarantino's KILL BILL series, legendary director Norifumi Suzuki's (FEMALE YAKUZA TALE: INQUISITION & TORTURE) bloodbath is beautifully photographed in a number of stunning locations. All in all, a very classy and enjoyable Japanese exploitation bloodspray flick that really pays off in many colorful ways. Very highly recommended to any exploitation or cult movie fan, especially fans of Lady Snowblood and girl gang films.
