Re:
Need quick help! How good is this one? Looks like Suzuki comedy silliness to me (with boobs). I'm not necessarily the biggest fan of his comedies, nor his early 70's sexploitation (Modern Porno Tale, Tokugawa Sex Ban). I need to decide within two days whether I'm gonna see this or Chotto kawaii Iron Maiden (2014) on screen...HungFist wrote: 温泉スッポン芸者 (Onsen suppon geisha) (1972)

http://www.walkerplus.com/movie/kinejun ... h&id=19740
Aka Hot Springs Kiss Geisha, with Miki Sugimoto, Yoko Mihara, Nobuo Kaneko and Ema Ryoko. Directed by Norifumi Suzuki. Fourth (final) in the series.
Plot description does sound quite, ehm...
"Onsen suppon geisha was part of a Hot Springs series, with Sugimoto having debuted in the first installment in 1971. In this one, she’s so good at using that super strong vagina of hers that she can fuck guys to death. In the end, she’s pitted against a sexual superman and a showdown ensues. There’s also a subplot about a mad scientist type who needs vaginal juices to create a potion designed to turn Japanese girls black."

Re: Classic Japanese Exploitation (pinky violence & pink)
It's by far my favorite in the entire series. It's been a while since I watched it (on VHS!) but I remember finding it hilarious and very well paced. There are a few definite WTF?!? type scenes in the film where you just stare at the screen open-mouthed and can't belive what just happened. Silly is accurate as well, though. Very much depends on your taste and what kind of sexual humor works for you.

Re: Classic Japanese Exploitation (pinky violence & pink)
btw, I took your advice and watched Onsen Suppon Geisha (1972). Not exactly my type of film but I enjoyed it. Silly but fun, high WTF factor, lots of cameos. Since it was a double feature I decided to stay for Onsen Mimizu Geisha (1971) as well, which was weaker but still ok. It was fun to see Reiko Ike acting almost like an idol and running topless on the beach. I recall there being a rumor she was underage when they filmed it, but I'm not sure if it's true. Looking at the dates, they had a few week windown to film and get it ready, which by the standard of that era could just be enough. If she was underage, we're talking about weeks or days.
What made the double feature pretty awesome was the theater. I had not been to Shin Bungeiza before so I wasn't expecting a 10 metre screen!!! What a pleasure seeing early 70's smut on a screen of that size! And not only that, the theater was completely packed! 266 seats I could count the empty seats with my fingers minutes before the film started! It probably had something to do with screenwriter Masahiro Kakefuda talk event being held after Onsen Mimizu Geisha, but still! Unfortunately I didn't have time to stay for that.
Here's a picture of the theater, taken on the previous night when there was far less audience:
On that day I watched Dolls of the Shogun's Harem (1986) and Ninja's Mark (1968). I need to write more about Ninja's Mark later when I have time. Let's just say it has a scene where a ninja turns a woman into a fish while she's having sex...

Re: Classic Japanese Exploitation (pinky violence & pink)
Here's an oddity:
Yes, there is a SCHOOL OF THE HOLY BEAST (聖獣学園, 1974) manga. Originally I assumed that this must have been another case where a manga was filmed but then I noticed that Norifumi Suzuki gets credit for the text right there on the cover and there are some stills of the movie included in the book as well:
So, unless I'm mistaken, the manga came after the movie - as a tie-in?

Re: Classic Japanese Exploitation (pinky violence & pink)
Great find! I didn't know that existed.
Seems like the manga came out sometime in 1973, while the movie was February 1974. However, I would guess that they were produced more or less simultaneously, and were more or less based on (or at least influenced by) by each other. The text under Takigawa's picture is a bit ambiguous but it kinda makes it sound like the movie was probably the main product, or the initiating production, even though the manga was published before.

Re: Classic Japanese Exploitation (pinky violence & pink)
I don't much care about new pinku productions either. That might change if they actually start producting something interesting but the last batch of remakes of some of their classic titles didn't interest me in the slightest and I just don't think that the system of film production and distribution these days lends itself to the kind of quality output that was possible in the 70ies and very early 80ies.
Of course I'll be rooting for more DVD (or Blu-ray!) releases of classic titles as well. There's still a handful I desperately wish to upgrade from my VHS tapes and even some that did get DVD releases need an upgrade... I'm obviously talking about those shitty bargain bin discs where they apparently just burned the WMP files from their PPV sites to a DVD, with results that are actually worse than my VHS cassettes.

Re: Classic Japanese Exploitation (pinky violence & pink)
I got to see this one (not the DVD, though) and unfortunately it's nowhere near as good as Decapitation Island. Comments below:Guro Taku wrote: TOKUGAWA - VIRGIN PRISON TORTURE (Hiroku Nagasaki Onnaro) was directed by Akikazu Ota in 1971.
Secret Report from Nagasaki Woman's Prison (1971)
This is the 6th and final film in Daiei's loosely linked series of women in prison movies set in the late 19th century. They were, of course, exploitation movies, but they were also surprisingly restrained compared to what Toei and Nikkatsu were putting out at the same time. There is little to no nudity in any of the films. The previous instalment, Decapitation Island, was nevertheless a very stylish entry with good acting, decent writing and an intriguing island setting. Nagasaki Woman's Prison unfortunately doesn't share those strengths. It's a mediocre-at-best genre effort with some girl fights, a little bit of blood, and no nudity at all. There are no interesting locations like in Decapitation Island either. The only memorable scene involves some inventive candle torture.

Re: The Classic Japanese Exploitation Thread (Not Work Safe!
This is embarrassing. For almost 10 years I've got Toei's comic actors Tooru Yuri, Akira Oizumi and Hachiro Oka's names mixed up. Six years ago when Marshall asked who the actors were I gave wrong names. I have corrected my old post now:
HungFist wrote:He's Tooru Yuri (edit: no he isn't. He's Hachiro Oka. I was mistaken and probably some of my other posts repeat the same mistake!). He and Toru Yuri were regular comic relief in Toei's movies. For example, if you're watching a Sukeban movie and there's a horny fool getting swindled by the girls, you can bet your money it's either Yuri or Oka.
Oka
Yuri
If my memory serves me correctly, they both appear together in Horrors of Malformed Men. Seem to have lost my screencap. They play Monk A and Monk B
And this guy is Akira Oizumi

Re: Classic Japanese Exploitation (pinky violence & pink)
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.

Actually after a little research I came up with this
but maybe that was just a planned release that has been aborted?

Re: Classic Japanese Exploitation (pinky violence & pink)
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.

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.
