I'm a total noob, just writing to say thanks to the many people on this thread (and board) for sharing so much of what they know with others.

One thing I like about Japanese films: the DVD transfers are in amazing condition compared to HK wuxia films (especially non-Shaw ones). It's incredible what you have to put up with.

Hi all I am new on the forum. Speaking of Pinky Violence I was wondering if -as of today-, Bankaku Rock is available in any form ?... and is there an official release of 13 steps Maki ?

I believe both have been released on VHS (I'm not 100% sure though), but that's it. No DVDs.

Thank you for your answer!... hopefully both will have a legitimate release in the future....

Actually after a little research I came up with this

but maybe that was just a planned release that has been aborted?

Yes, the Toei DVD release was cancelled.

Bankaku Rock has never been released on any home video format, not even VHS, Laserdisc or 8MM. The only version floating around is a Toei Channel TV recording. Apparently this is due to the music used in the film, which includes several live performances. From what I heared the contract was only for theatrical and TV play and renegotiating it for home video (which didn't exist at the time of the film's release) has proven too expensive for Toei to bother. They made an attempt in that direction and even announced a DVD for release in July 2011 but everything fell through and the release was cancelled.

thanks for sharing... Any info on why 13 steps Maki still hasn't resurfaced ?...I hear it is widely known as one of the better films starring Etsuko Shihomi and her only sukeban film...

Hey guys how are you? Long time I haven't been here. Any who I don't know if this is the right place to post this but I found two interesting pictures from Yoko Ichiji super rare if anyone is interested in.

OK I found one more. It is from a TV show from 1977 it is called 特捜最前線 第39話「密告・コーヒージャック!」(1977年、ANB / 東映). She was featured in episode 39. I did not post the English name because I'm getting different names with different translation programs.

Now I have a question when are all these pinky era films coming to Blu-Ray. I know there's a pack from the UK that brings the Stray Cat films.

Ah I see. Just like you I'm not sure about the other studios either but if I had to guess I'd say they were filmed without sound as well , At least for the 70's.

I have a question for the people familiar with Japan on the tag/name "Pinky Violence" ... I read on countless sources that it's a name originated in the west (probably considering the DVD boxset issued by Panic House in mid 2000's) but I think the book by J-Taro S. came out in Japan in 1999 and it was the first time the name has been used commercially... can you confirm this ?

My understanding is also that Sugisaku was the first one to use the term. That's what Japanese wikipedia also says. And yes, his book came out 1999.
