Female Prisoner #701 Scorpion: Grudge Song (1973)Director: Shunya Ito
Starring: Meiko Kaji
Personal Rating: 2/5
"This fourth film in the series which began with Female Prisoner #701: Scorpion (1972) almost didn't get made because star Meiko Kaji was tired of her role. Toei Studios coaxed her back by replacing Toshiya Ito -- who made the first three films -- with Yasuharu Hasebe, who had directed Kaji in Naraneko Rokku: Onna Bancho (1970) and two of its sequels. Scorpion (Kaji) escapes from jail and finds a haven with an ex-college classmate, who now works backstage at a stripclub. Scorpion tells him about her unfortunate adventures, later conspiring with him to finally expose her ex-boyfriend, the crooked vice cop whose attempted murder had resulted in her initial arrest. This was the end of the series for all practical purposes, although Yutaka Kohira directed a pair of sequels starting with Shin Joshu Sasori: 701-go (1976), each starring different actresses in the lead." - ©Robert Firsching, All Movie Guide
