Sex & Fury

Sex & Fury (1973)
Director: Norifumi Suzuki
Starring: Reiko Ike
Personal Rating: 5/5

"This was the first of two films in which Japanese exploitation star Reiko Ike played the character of Inoshika Ocho. After a brief prologue depicting the murder of Ocho's policeman father, it is revealed that she has grown up to become a professional gambler. Sex & Fury chronicles Ocho's exploits as she searches for her father's killers, each identified by unique tattoos on their backs (a deer, a boar, and a butterfly). Along the way, she also crosses paths with Shonusuke (Masataka Naruse), a radical set on murdering prominent politician Kurokawa (Seizaburo Kawazu) and Christina (Christina Lindberg), an American spy posing as a gambler. The various storylines frequently intersect, prompting a dizzying array of plot twists, overheated sex scenes, and gory swordplay. The pulp-heavy storyline is skillfully directed by Norifumi Suzuki, a veteran director of commercial Japanese fare who pumped up such sexy, violent spectacles with surrealistic visual flourishes and stylized sets and costumes. Sex & Fury was followed by Female Yakuza Tale: Inquisition and Torture, a sequel helmed by another Japanese exploitation film legend, Teruo Ishii."-© Donald Guarisco, All Movie Guide

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.

Female Yakuza Tale: Inquisition & Torture

Female Yakuza Tale: Inquisition & Torture (1973)
Director: Teruo Ishii
Starring: Reiko Ike
Personal Rating: 4/5

"In Meiji-era Tokyo there are no rules, and Ocho (Reiko Ike) is back, reprising her role from the notorious film Sex & Fury. Ocho is a dangerous fighter, gambler, and thief whose clothing is often in danger of falling off, and this film is equal to its predecessor in the sheer volume of its blood, sex, and mayhem. When Ocho is kidnapped by a drug trafficking ring, she plans a dangerous escape, and aided by a mysterious loner (Ryohei Uchida), she investigates the gang's activities. They are engaged in smuggling heroin into the country by using women forced into prostitution. Inevitably, Ocho must face off with the brutal Yakuzas and their equally deadly swordswomen."
