Yasagure anego den: Sôkatsu rinchi

For me, not quite as delirious as 'Sex and Fury', there are less set pieces and this is a little confusing now and again. Even so with the fabulous Reiko Ike to the fore with her penchant for bare breasted swordfights, this remains a must. The opening credit sequence with the parasols is wonderful and I was surprised not to see it reprised during the body of the film. Super camera-work, splendidly colourful sets and costumes plus an incredible amount of female flesh. So many beautiful naked girls, prancing, dancing and bending over to have phials inserted! The final fight is way over the top with naked flesh and rivers of blood, it just seems a shame there were not a couple more such scenes between the glorious opening and the gratuitous finale. Very enjoyable, nevertheless!

The ravishing Reiko Ike is back, sexy and deadly as ever in this awesomely sleazy sequel to Norifumi Suzuki's "Sex And Fury" (1973). Brought to you by cult-director Teruo Ishii ("Black Cat's Revenge", "The Executioner", "Orgies Of Edo", "Horrors of Malformed Men",...), "Yasagure anego den: sôkatsu rinchi" aka. "Female Yakuza Tale: Inquisition and Torture" of 1973 is yet another great entry to the Japanese 'Pinky Violence' Exploitation sub-genre. The film's great visual style, tons of sleaze and violence, and, above all, genre-goddess Reiko Ike make this a must-see for my fellow Pinky Violence enthusiasts and highly recommended to any fan of cult-cinema.

The sexy and lethal gambling-lady, thief and swords-woman Ochô Inoshika (Reiko Ike) is back, and immediately confronted with lots of new enemies. Among others, she has to struggle with a ring of drug smugglers who smuggle heroin in a very kinky manner... I don't won't give away any more of the story, as I don't wanna spoil any of the fun, but I can assure that my fellow Japanese Exploitation lovers should be more than satisfied. While "Female Yakuza Tale" may not be quite as good story-wise as the foregoing "Sex And Fury", it even surpasses its predecessor in sleaziness. The film is again beautifully shot, with immensely stylish fighting sequences. What makes these (often slow-motion) sword-fights even more memorable is the fact that the ravishing heroine Ochô tends to fight bare-breasted or even completely naked. Also, the ONLY thing that I did not love about "Sex And Fury" namely the romance (Christina Lindberg's voice made me understand why her character in "Thriller, En Grym Film" was mute) is omitted here for good, and even though I might stand alone with this opinion, I liked the fact that Lindberg was not part of this one. There's again a lot of bloodshed, and the sleaze-factor is enormous. I won't go into detail, but Pinky Violence fans will know what to expect, and I assure that their expectations are not going to be disappointed. A great sequel to the brilliant "Sex And Fury", "Female Yakuza Tale" is pure cult-cinema that satisfies in all regards and a must see for every fan of Japanese Exploitation cinema! Highly Recommended!

This is considered a sequel to Sex & Fury also released in 1973. Not a continuation of the story. Rather a continuation of the character Ocho Inoshika again played by Reiko Ike.

This movie as a whole is definitely watchable. Unfortunately the script has a number of holes which makes it a little confusing at times. The fight choreography which was excellent in Sex & Fury is disappointing here. There is plenty of nudity just like before if that's what you seek. A decent helping of violence as well. You could compare both Ocho Inoshika films to Lady Snowblood. Have to think Quentin Tarantino has seen these.

Reiko Ike is of course excellent. The rest of the cast ranged from passable to excellent. Change in directors for this film is definitely noticable, giving this film an entirely different feel and atmosphere.

If you're looking for a Yakuza pinky violence story with action, then definitely watch. It's not required to see Sex & Fury first but it is a much better movie.

Ochô Inoshika (Reiko Ike) is mistakenly kidnapped and tortured by drug traffickers and later accused by the police of of murdering another woman. She is helped by Jyoji and discovers that the criminals use the vaginae of women from a gang of female thieves to smuggle drugs to the Clan Ogi led by the Yakuza Goda (Tatsuo Endô). Further, Goda had killed the former lord and abducted his teenage daughter. Ochô plots a scheme with Jyoji and the female thieves to revenge the torture and abuse of Goda and his men.

"Yasagure anego den: sôkatsu rinchi" is a messy Japanese exploitation, with a confused screenplay and development of characters and probably lost in translation to Portuguese. My vote is three.

Title (Brazil): "A Mulher da Yakuza" ("The Woman from the Yakuza")

I recall some politician once being advertised as "tan, rested, and ready." Well, Ochô (Reiko Ike) has recovered from her massive wounds sustained in Sex & Fury, and is ready to do battle again.

This time she is involved in the "Crotch-Gouge" murders. Something to do with Chinese drug mules who smuggle the drug up their crotch. Needless to say, the drug gang picked the wrong person to mess with.

Exploring the video nasties of the 70s and the pinky violence of the same period is an adventure in just how wild filmmakers can be. At least the Japanese films are all in glorified color and full of gorgeous beauty. The music is also very upbeat and enjoyable.

There are more breasts than in a chicken processing plant, and the blood flows freely in the final battle. This was not as good as Sex & Fury, but it had a whole lot more skin.
