Zero Woman: Red Handcuffs

Zero Woman: Red Handcuffs (1974)
Director: Yukio Noda
Starring: Miki Sugimoto
Personal Rating: 5/5

"Based on a manga by Toru Shinohara, the Zero Woman series was a popular Japanese exploitation franchise of the 1970s, and it holds up strikingly well today. RED HANDCUFFS begins with female cop Rei (Miki Sugimoto), otherwise known as Agent Zero, seducing a Westerner who has been killing women with his sadistic sexual fetishes. Once she gets him back to the hotel room, however, she metes out her own brand of justice, of which her fellow cops do not approve, and Rei promptly lands in jail. Elsewhere, the maniacal criminal Nagumo (Tetsuro Tamba) is being let out of prison, and it isn't long before his brutal celebration leads to the kidnapping of an important politician's daughter. Charged with retrieving the girl without the media's knowledge, the police turn the job over to Rei. What follows is a melee of violence, sex, and violent sex, as Rei coolly does what it takes to get the job done."

Terrifying Girls' High School: Lynch Law Classroom

Terrifying Girls' High School: Lynch Law Classroom (1973)
Director: Norifumi Suzuki
Starring: Miki Sugimoto, Reiko Ike
Personal Rating: 4.5/5

"The second episode in the Terrifying Girls High School series, Lynch Law Classroom, is the best, a lunatic erotic/grotesque sleaze fest that remains one of director Norifumi Suzuki’s wildest movies. Miki Sugimoto is the leader of a trio of underdog delinquents at a superstrict girls’ school. Independent yakuza biker chick and all-round free spirit, Reiko Ike arrives midway to assist Sugimoto and her pals in fighting a homicidally fascist band of schoolgirls whom the principal (Kenji Imai) has recruited to keep the rowdier misfits cowed. These neo-nazi types are merciless sadists who love to drain their victims’ blood, burn them with hot lightbulbs and generally make their lives miserable enough that they’ll commit suicide. Ike, in turn, is helped by her yakuza pal, the suave but somewhat klutzy Tsunehiko Watase. Watase engineers blackmail scenarios by setting up sex stings on various hypocritical school staff and a corrupt member of the Diet (Nobuo Kaneko), a bunch unable to put the brakes on their voracious appetite for underage poontang. The climax sees a full-scale riot at the school, with the girls keeping the hordes of cops at bay with rocks and firehoses. Supremely anarchic entertainment." -© Chris D.
