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...

I don't know anything about 13 STEPS OF MAKI, sorry.

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.

Be my guest

Sorry for the delay I've been busy with work. But I will post when I get home from work. For now I have this link. It's supposed to be Yoko Ichiji currently. You guys be the judge it's one of the last pics.

OK here is the pic I found. I believe it's dated from 1976.

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.

When someone decides to release them.

LOL. They do look extremely good on DVD though.

HungFist, were these 70's Pinky films filmed without sound then the sound added later?

I have more rare goods.

Nikkatsu's films were. I don't know about other studios

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.

On July 25 Arrow Video will release (region 1 & 2) a boxset containing the 4 films for Female Prisoner Scorpion #701 series starring Meiko Kaji...

(Wish they would release a similar boxset for the 7 films of the "Girl Boss" series and/or the 4 films of the" Terrifying Girls High School" series)

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.

Thanks for your answer.

May you identify this movie, please ?



did you watch it?

You've found something incredibly rare. Japanese online movie databases have never heard of it. I can tell you it's called 女は神様です 産婦人科医の告白 in Japanese and stars an actress called Mami Sakura (桜マミ). It seems to be a 1973 Toei Porno film with a running time of 52 minutes. The director is Tomoomi Ida (依田智臣), who only ever directed a couple of movies but served as assistant director is some well known films like Modern Porno Tale and Yakuza's Law.

Some years back Laputa Asagaya had a brief retrospective called New Toei Porno, which didn't feature this film but included some other rare films:

Thank you again!

it's incredible how when one thinks he finally saw all TOEI posters something new always pops up!

BTW those Laputa Chirashis are great

Guro Taku wrote:The only thing more hilarious than some of those retitelings is the fact that they put that list in their 2017 catalogue. How many of these films will actually be released in 2017? Considering they still haven't released all of the 27 titles of the batch they announced in 2009 I'd say... probably none.

is it possible that someone has the original titles for these handy? i can recognise one or two of them, but wondering how dominated this list is by RP of the cliched genre ilk they've said they'd avoid in future, and how many are classics or requested titles that they've said more educated or interested specialist fans had repeatedly stated they'd like instead.

Hung Fist or Guro Taku may know the title of this rare pinky violence film?
