Re: Classic Japanese Exploitation (pinky violence & pink)
OK guys these are the last pics I have, because this is all Ive acquired after intensive searches through the internet.
Now unless someone has pics that I do not have please post them. But I highly doubt anyone has more than I do since they are so rare.
This is an episode from I am the man!. Epsiode 11 called Tomorrow!

Re: Re:
Just wanted to say that Makiguchi's Rashamen (らしゃめん) is not a pinku/pinky type exploitation flick. Rather, it is a period drama about a beautiful half-breed woman, born of a visiting foreign father, who is sold into a life of prostitution during the Reconstruction period of Japan. That could summarise the plot of a real sleazefest but in fact the closest this film gets to showing nudity is a nippleless glimpse of a sideboob for half a second.

Re: The Classic Japanese Exploitation Thread (Not Work Safe!
I watched this yesterday. It's not really a pinky violence movie or even a biker gang film, but a rather serious crime drama. Only a few action scenes and the quality is nothing to write home about. The screenplay doesn't quite hold, but co-star Hiroshi Tachi gives a strong performance, and the ending is stylish.Marshall wrote:Soooo...
Anyone roll the dice on HELL'S ANGELS: CRIMSON ROAR? Money is tight, but I am very curious about this one.
I will review this (and all the Detonation movies by Ishii and pals) in the cult cinema thread when I have time. Got Finnish reviews out of most of these already, need to find time for a quick translation or summary.

Re: Classic Japanese Exploitation (pinky violence & pink)
Well, I don't want to be one of those tiresome people who repeats the same crap at every board on the internet, but it would appear that a US company intends to re-release the second Female Convict Scorpion movie (JAILHOUSE 41) on October 26th. This title has been haunted by sub-par releases, so hopefully this won't just be a port of a pre-botched release.

Re: Classic Japanese Exploitation (pinky violence & pink)
That's good news. If they could obtain the Toei print but without cropping that would be terrific. And add Studio Canal's extras.
After selling the Studio Canal disc I only own 3 copies of the film

Re: Classic Japanese Exploitation (pinky violence & pink)
Well, I had a look at THREE PRETTY DEVILS. It had some things going for it. Yoko Ichiji and Junko Natsu, for two. I'm guessing the third P.D. is Reiko Ohara? Not too familiar with her. Also that girl from GIANT ROBO is in it. Yumiko Katayama, I think. ALSO that transvestite singer from one of the DEILINQUENT GIRL BOSS movies. Not much of a selling point, but it is interesting to see how the pieces of the Toei jigsaw puzzle all fit together. There are some nice fashions and some go-go dancing, although the music is pretty boring and the camera work is intentionally shaky during the dance scenes, to the point of stupidity. Some nudity, thankfully, and some decent set-pieces.
Also checked out DELINQUENT BOSS #9, "Reckless Driving." It's the least of the four I've seen. Yoko Mihara has a small, unmemorable part. Is she in every single one of these?
Some other things about THREE PRETTY DEVILS. I believe the theme song is sung by the girl that stars in the first STRAY CAT ROCK film. A lot of the film is set at Expo '70. Yoko Ichiji is quite cute in this. The ending has an above-average explosion.
Forgot to mention that Yoko Mihara French-kisses a little dog in DELINQUENT BOSS 9. Unfotunately that's about the extent of her role.
So, what happens if I try to join the Toei Video Point Club?

Re: Classic Japanese Exploitation (pinky violence & pink)
Sorry, forgot to answer this. You can receive some Toei goods if you register a point account and collect points. Surely they wouldn't deliver abroad, but even in Japan I don't think it's necessarily worth the hassle. And no, they don't have Reiko Ike tissues or anything like that in the goods selection. Tokusatsu stuff mainly (and again, they won't mail you a Godzilla. Toho owns that big mofo).Marshall wrote: So, what happens if I try to join the Toei Video Point Club?
Here's the information website

Re: Classic Japanese Exploitation (pinky violence & pink)
Here's a little compilation post covering Toei's 2011 pinky violence releases so far. I've covered these news in the cult cinema thread already, as that is my primary Toei release news thread (and I've been too lazy to jump back and forth between the two threads).
Toei is in full pinky violence swing this year.

I haven't bought Jeans Blues yet, cause I'm kinda broke. But I think it fits the pinky violence category. Maybe.
The New Female Prisoner Scorpion films I've commented quite a few times before as I onw the French dvds. Good films both, although not on par with the originals.
Excited about The Red Silk Gambler and Bankaku Rock making their dvd debuts...

All aboard the Rape Train! Tooooot!
Can anyone identify this clip? It wouldn't be from KEIKEN, would it? That would be cool.

Most likely it is from Keiken seeing as both Oshida and Ohara are in it.

Re: Classic Japanese Exploitation (pinky violence & pink)
I tried to indentify that clip last week, but could only find some jidai geki TV dramas starring both Oshida and Ohara. But that's because movie databases forgot to mention Oshida is in Keiken (and I didn't look at the dvd cover carefully enough to notice she's in it!). Toei's product page confirms:
http://www.toei-video.co.jp/data/hs/vca ... 03257.html
So, yeah, it's almost certainly Keiken. Good detective work, guys.

Received KEIKEN and it's not bad. Would be better if I understood Japanese. Yoko Mihara has a pretty big role, and Yukie Kagawa plays a suit-wearing lesbian. Reiko Oshida pretty much just sings that song and splits.

Re:
Someone please tell me whether to buy this movie. I haven't the slightest interest in Sonny Chiba or gambling, but I like Yukie Kagawa. How's the music in the nightclub scenes?HungFist wrote:Wandering Ginza Butterfly 2: She Cat Gambler (1972)
Meiko Kaji returns in this sequel by name only follow up. She plays the same character as before, but the previous film is not referred in any way and the movies are also somewhat different in terms of style. The original found a charming balance between ninkyo yakuza atmosphere and mini skirts. Wandering Ginza Butterfly 2 also combines modern and past, but in a different way. Gambling scenes are plenty and feel almost as lifted from an early Showa era set yakuza film. Miss Kaji also spends most of her time wearing kimono. However, at the same time the pic is filled with club scenes, neon lights and early 70’s disco music, similarly to the Delinquent Girl Boss movies. The atmostphere is modern, even if many of the seminal elements have roots in the past. Comedy is also a major part of the film.
In terms of casting Wandering Ginza Butterfly 2 further closers the Delinquent Girl Boss movies. Tooru Yuri has a big supporting role – comedic of course - Junzaburo Ban plays an old man with a problematic father-daughter relationship, and Yukie Kagawa, whose absense from the first film was almost distracting, is given a rather unexciting role as a night club hostess. The biggest addition to the cast, however, is Shinichi Chiba. Chiba gives a very humoristic acting performance as a stammering small time goon who is a bit afraid of bigger players. Chiba’s action skills are put into use in the great finale where he and Kaji slaughter three times as many people as there are members in villains Fujio Suga and Hideo Murota’s gang. This is a great conclusion to a highly entertaining film that is more or less on par with the original. The storyline may not be very strong, but there is a wide variety of familiar and enjoyble genre elements on display. Fans of positively charged girl gang films should thoroughly enjoy Wandering Ginza Butterfly 2.
Synapse’s dvd is, once again, brilliant and above Toei’s own standards. Extras feature the same Kazuhiko Yamaguchi interview, Kaji biography and poster gallery, and trailers that appeared on the previous dvd. What is new is an 11 minute interview with pinky violence expert J-Taro Sugisaku. No commentary this time.

How is it possible not to have the slightest interest in the greatest movie star of all time?!
+ you have Meiko Kaji and the usual Toei gang!
As for Kagawa and the music, unfortunately I can't remember anymore.

Lol. I watched some clips and this movie is not for me. Thank you for your response, though. As for Chiba, couldn't pick him out of a lineup. He may be quite a fellow, but he is not in movies that interest me. Kind of like that guy who asked about pinky violence, "People watch this stuff?" Different strokes.HungFist wrote: As for Kagawa and the music, unfortunately I can't remember anymore.

Re: Classic Japanese Exploitation (pinky violence & pink)
Chiba is damn cool, but a fair few of his 70s films suffer from shakey-cam during the fights that results in seizures! He also seems to lack the same talent pool as HK's greatest - it seems he ends up facing Masashi Ishibashi in every film, with the same damn choreography!

Re: Classic Japanese Exploitation (pinky violence & pink)
There was WWIII in relation to this topic some half a year ago...
I actually prefer Chiba's karate films to almost any HK kung fu films, with maybe a few exception (The Prodigal Son, Snake in the Eagle's Shadow, etc.) for number of reasons
- The intensity. While Chiba's films lack the state of art choreography found in HK, they often pack more intensity. HK old school fighting has a tendency to resemble Peking Opera - actors performing endless fancy moves in fight scenes that go on forever and merely suggest the fighters posses no danger to each other. Chiba's karate films on the other hand seem more inspired by samurai movies - every single strike could kill you, which makes the fights much more intense. It's a bit ironic considering the lack of full contact, as opposed to HK's true-full contact. But of course this doesn't apply to all HK films, and some of HK's total nutcases, such as The Prodigal Son and some of Jackie fights, are in a league of their own.
- The kick-ass factor. The Japanese 1970's action films were usually tightly packed (running around 85 min), ultra-violent and all around kick ass. HK martial arts films on the other hand often suffered from clumsy comedy bits and too much storyline. Neither the Japanese nor the Chinese had any storytelling talent, but the Japanese kept the storyline to absolute minimum, while too many HK films attempted to tell a dramatic story and ended up merely boring the viewer between the fight scenes.
- Toei casting! While perhaps a turn off for some, I love the fact that every time you watch a 70's Toei action film you can recognize at least a dozen cast members. They had like 20 regular actors for each genre, of which half could be found in any genre film. Masashi Ishibashi especially gets grand applause every time he makes a villain appearance (I must have seen him playing a bad guy for more than 20 times).
- Chiba. A wise man once said: "Even bad Chiba films have one good thing about them: Sonny Chiba". The most motherfucker karate asshole that ever walked the earth! Love the guy to death!
Of course some Chiba films had poor fights (no wonder with him making up to 7 martial arts films per year). The shakey cam is also true and regrettable, but I don't think it ruined the films in question. The Oyama films (especially Karate for Life) feature my favorite Chiba fights. In comparison, I don't care nearly as much for Sanada's fights, which are much more HK style...
The karate demon!
And The Street Fighter is simply one of the greatest movies ever made anywhere, period!
