"Kinji Fukasaku directed this powerful and uncompromising look at the deadly stakes of life among the Yakuza.

While behind bars, Hirono gains a loyal friend in fellow criminal Wagasugi (Tatsuo Umemiya), and upon his release Hirono joins Wagasugi in an underworld gang. What starts as a seemingly easy way to earn some quick money becomes something darker and bloodier as Wagasugi and his comrades fall into a violent street war against another mob faction that grows into a long-standing feud." -© Mark Deming, 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.

Zombie Holocaust

Zombie Holocaust (1979)
Director: Marino Girolami
Starring: Ian McCulloch, Alexandra Delli Colli
Personal Rating: 5/5

"Following the success of Zombie (aka. Zombi 2) and Cannibal Holocaust in 1979, producer Fabrizio De Angelis came up with the idea of cashing in on the subjects at the same time. By taking the basic plot of Zombi 2 and adding elements of cannibal films, Zombie Holocaust was born. The film starts off in New York, where a hospital worker is found to have been devouring bodies in the morgue. It turns out that he was originally a native of one of the Moluccan Islands, and similar corpse mutilations have occurred in other city hospitals, where immigrants from this region are also working. Led by Dr. Peter Chandler (Ian McCulloch), an expedition is organized to the islands to find out the reason behind the terrible happenings. However, on the Moluccas the crew are soon hunted by cannibals and zombies, the latter being created by the sinister Dr. Obrero who is experimenting with corpses. Lori (Alexandra Delli Colli), an attractive lady in the expedition team, is accepted as queen of the cannibals, and sends them off against the mad scientist and his zombie army."
