    Follow-up to Sex & Fury - OK but Could have been better

    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.

    Messy Japanese Exploitation

    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")

    Your pussy is going to catch a cold.

    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.

    Pinky J-Sleaze At It's Finest...

    DAMN I love this era of Japanese exploit film-making. I just recently really started digging into the 70's pinky and samurai films - but I have to say that I've LOVED every one that I've seen so far. Violent, gory, sleazy, sexy - they just don't make films like these anymore...

    Unfortunately, the story behind FEMALE YAKUZA TALE is a little convoluted and can be hard to follow at times. This one has Ocho (female pickpocket and "swords-mistress" extraordinaire of SEX AND FURY fame) trying to bring down a drug cartel that uses dope-addicted women as mules to smuggle drugs in their snatches. There are some rival gangs also involved, and throw in a side-plot of some of the local girls becoming victims of a string of "Crotch-Gouge" crimes (!?!), another female assassin who prays before she kills, and a guy who is part of a local crime family who was in jail but now is out and is looking to take down the new leader...and there ya have it...

    Again, the main problem with FTY is that there are too many things going on at once, and too many characters who are introduced and then not explained very well, so that the story can become confusing and hard to keep up with. But, on the good side - there is so much sleazy "fun" going on that it's hard to fault the film for some plot inconsistencies. We are treated to the typical rape, torture, some hilarious dildo play, tons of tits and ass, and a few good fight scenes (including an awesome end battle of the drug dealers versus a gang of ex-mules who are naked and p!ssed!!!). I do think there could have been some more violence also - but I won't really hold that against the film either, as there is just so much fun stuff going on in this one. And in typical fashion for the Japanese exploit-style films of this time-frame - the sets, settings, cinematography, choreography, and acting are all top-notch. An absolute winner and highly recommended for pinky fans. Check out also SEX AND FURY, FEMALE PRISONER 701: SCORPION, LADY SNOWBLOOD, and the BABY CART series. 8.5/10 for FEMALE YAKUZA TALE...

    Visually gorgeous but a lightweight offering from Teruo Ishii

    The beautiful Reiko Ike returns in this low-budget sequel to "Sex and Fury". A non-stop, rather confusing tale of gangs, drug running and revenge, "Female Yakuza Tale: Inquisition and Torture" is a wonderfully visual movie with a great '70s score and an excellent cast.

    Despite finding the plot a little too convoluted, I enjoyed watching this movie. The scenes of softcore romps with middle-aged men started to exceed their welcome in no time at all but the film has a decent pace and energy that allows it to overcome its limitations. Reiko Ike is a stunning actress and steals every scene. Her willingness to give 100% to the film soon becomes apparent in the opening credits where she manages to full disrobe in the midst of a sword fight with numerous assailants.

    Not the most exciting crime thriller I've seen from Japan, "Female Yakuza Tale" is still an entertaining movie from bonkers director Teruo Ishii.
