This lacks a little of the style of the other movies gathered within the Pinky Violence collection but if it's missing some of the street cool, it is certainly sexy action all the way. More of less restricted to within the confines of an all girl school we get one set of girls put in charge of another, with extreme torture considered a reasonable discipline. Then we get the 'baddies' released from detention to be improved at the school and they immediately take against the other girls. Even with all this there is more because the teachers are for ever being seduced or deciding to rape various girls who also now and again make sexual advances upon one another. The film begins with a murder, includes a hanging and ends in delirious mayhem. Not as story bound as some and containing more sex and violence than would seem possible. Well shot and with decent score too.

In the '70s, Toei studio has switched completely from their samurai movies into Yakuza, and Sukeban type movies. They might have done some disservice to the Japanse culture for glorifying violence during that period. Reiko Ike and Aya Sugimoto were their stars at that time.

A group of girls belonging to Kibou Gakuen high school decides to battle the corrupt management of the school they're in that killed Michio Akiyama the friend of one of the girls. In between the girls engage themselves in lesbian escapades.

Girls that look awfully old to be a student appear as high school students in these movies.

Toei used to make samurai movies in glorious color. Their great photographic technique is evident in these movies as well.

Lot of interesting scenes in this movie, as are other movies made by Toei at the time.

The movie is tame in violence and sexual contents compared to the movies of today (frontal nude was illegal in Japan at the time), but this was the cutting edge in the '70s Japan.

BTW, the girl that appears on the box of Pinky Violence Collection is Reiko Ooshida, and does not appear in this movie.

A good movie from the '70s Japan.

This movie takes place at the "School of Hope", apparently a school for overly mature and improbably attractive delinquent Japanese high school girls. In the the opening scene a girl is being tortured by a group of her fellow students called the "disciplinary committee". They have her hooked up to a machine that is slowly draining the blood from her body (for some reason, this requires her to be topless). The victim escapes but dies from falling off a building. The action then shifts to three girls who have just been committed to the school. They team up to help one of them, "Noriko the Cross" (Miki Sugimoto) take revenge on the "disciplinary committee". But then to complicate matters a rival gangleader (Reiko Ikke) also shows up to challenge "Noriko" (she rides her motorcycle right into the school, which you would think would get HER thrown into reform school, but apparently not in Japan). Eventually though the girls all realize who their REAL enemies are and team up against the corrupt male lechers running the school.

This "pinky violence" film has all the hallmarks of the genre--lesbianism, gratuitous shower scenes, girl-on-girl torture and violence. The sex and nudity is always appreciated, but the torture scenes are pretty unpleasant (albeit imaginative). Fortunately, the violence is not as graphic as it could be. The treatment of the male characters is pretty cynical--they're almost all lecherous perverts with "uniform" fetishes except for the vice principal, who's just plain evil. and a mercenary tabloid journalist who is the only male protagonist. Miki Sugimoto would go to appear in "Zero Woman--Red Handcuffs" and Reiko Ikke would go on to appear in "Sex and Fury", both of which would have a big influence years later on Quentin Tarantino's "Kill Bill". Both are pretty appealing (if not particularly believable as teenage delinquents).

This is a actually pretty big-budget and well-made film (according to genre expert Jaspar Sharp the "pinky violence" series differs from other Japanese "pink" sex films in that they were made by a big studio and had much bigger production values). These kind of films obviously aren't everybody's cup of sake, but if you like them in general, you'll probably enjoy this one.

While "Kyôfu joshikôkô: bôkô rinchi kyôshitsu" aka. "Terrifying Girls' Highschool: Lynch Law Classroom" of 1973 may be one of the weaker Pinky violence flicks by director Norifumi Suzuki ("Sex And Fury"), it is still a highly entertaining exploitation flick that fans of Japanese Cult-Cineam should not miss out on. More precisely, out of all Pinky Violence flicks I've seen, this is actually among the weaker films, but I am talking about an awesome exploitation sub-genre that includes awesome films such as Suzuki's own "Sex And Fury", "Female Yakuza Tale", "Zero Woman: Red Handcuffs" or, especially, the brilliant "Joshuu Sasori" (aka. "Female Prisoner Scorpion") films with Meiko Kaji.

What makes "Terrifying Girls' Highschool" especially worth watching is the casting of Japanese exploitation dream-team Miki Sugimoto and Reiko Ike, basically THE two ravishing goddesses of Pinky Violence cinema. The reason why this is one of the weaker Pinky flicks is the fact that the story is occasionally pretty damn silly. However, it does make up for this fault with an enormous amount of sleaze and perversions. The film actually starts out very disturbingly, with an opening sequence that I will not describe any further, as I don't wanna spoil anything. The film is about a High school for delinquent girls, in which a sardonic vice-principal and his henchgirls rule with unorthodoxly brutal methods. When three young female delinquents, one of them the ravishing girl-gang boss Noriko (played by sexy Miki Sugimoto), are brought to the school, however, they are not willing to just put up with the abuse like their fellow students...

The tons of explicit sleaze should be reason enough for an exploitation fan to find the film worthwhile, and the film has several other qualities. "Terrifying Girls' Highschool" has a weird (and very sleazy) sense of humor, that is, at some points, ingenious. The main reason to watch this, however, are its ravishing stars Miki Sugimoto and Reiko Ike. Reiko's character is actually not introduced until about half way into the film, but Miki is the leading character, and she's once again both incredibly cool and incredibly sexy. The film's plot may be a bit messy (in the middle, it sometimes even drags a little), but that is not to say that it isn't highly entertaining. Overall "Terrifying Girl's Highschool" isn't as quite as good as the comparable "Girl Boss Guerilla" (also starring Reiko and Miki), and certainly no highlight of Pinky Violence cinema, but it is nonetheless an immensely entertaining film that I highly recommend to my fellow lovers of Japanese Exploitation!
