Product Description
-------------------
Female Yakuza Tale - Inquisition And Torture is an anarchistic
apex in the career of Japanese cult director, Teruo Ishii, whose
fifty year resume includes Horror of Malformed Men and Blind
Beast Vs. Killer Dwarf. Notoriously lacking restraint, sexy
'pinky violence' star, Reiko Ike, returns in this gonzo sequel to
Sex & Fury following the further exploits of Ocho, a thief and
gambler running afoul of evil yakuza in Meiji Era Tokyo. Aided by
a lone wolf adventurer (Ryohei Uchida), Ocho investigates a
ruthless gang of cutthroats who are using indentured prostitutes
as drug mules to smuggle heroin from China. Director Ishii throws
everything but the kitchen sink into this mind-altering
sexploitation action saga, all culminating in a bloody mobster
massacre replete with sultry swomen. Full of intoxicating
mayhem and uproarious kabuki-striptease antics, Female Yakuza
Tale - Inquisition & Torture is freak-out filmmaking at its
finest!
Panik House is proud to present Female Yakuza Tale uncut,
uncensored and totally restored from the original vault elements.

If you want to know where Quentin Tarantino got some of his
inspiration for Kill Bill, check out Female Yakuza Tale:
Inquisition and Torture, a spicy slice of Japanese sexploitation
from 1973. It's a brazenly unrestrained sequel to Norifumi
Suzuki's similarly ty Sex & Fury (
/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000AQKUYK/${0} ) (another cult favorite among
fans of Japanese pulp cinema), and director Teruo Ishii
demonstrates his disdain for sequels by dishing up a lurid crime
tale filled with rampant sex, female nudity, and blood-spurting
ultraviolence. Set in Meiji-era Tokyo circa 1905, the outlandish
story kicks into high gear when renegade thief and gambler Ocho
(Reiko Ike, fully recovered from the bloodbath in Sex & Fury) is
joined by a "lone wolf" drifter (Ryohei Uchida) in pursuit of a
gang of murderous thugs with connections to the gruesome "crotch
gouge" murders (involving deadly injuries that are best left to
the imagination). By the time they close in on a disgusting
kingpin who's been enslaving prostitutes to smuggle Chinese
heroin in their nether regions, Ocho has recruited a small army
of sexy, -wielding hookers who aren't feeling the least bit
merciful. The result is an outrageous orgy of boobs, bullets, and
bloodshed, carried out with abundant humor, chaotic choreography,
and dazzling use of colorful low-budget settings. Befitting such
a delirious dose of sexplo-t, this high-quality, beautifully
mastered DVD release caters to its intended audience with an
authoritative audio commentary by Chris Desjardins (author of
Outlaw Masters of Japanese Film), whose expert programming of
this and other "Pinky Violence" films (at the American
Cinematheque in Los Angeles) resulted in a renewed appreciation
for mind-blowing Asian action films that are defiantly off the
beaten path. High-minded prudes and the weak-of-heart are advised
to stay away! --Jeff Shannon
