Editorial Reviews:

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 swordswomen. 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. Available for the first time anywhere on DVD!

Summary: Great vide
Comment: I enjoyed this video. It's what it appeared to be. A Yakuza tale with females as the stars instead of men... Some nudity, well prehaps a bit more than some...

Customer Rating:

Summary: Just as bad as "Sex & Fury"
Comment: This is the sequel to "Sex & Fury" starring Ike Reiko. The plot revolves around "crotch gouging," drug smugglers using women's orifices to smuggle dope. The story is a bit better than the over-hyped "Sex & Fury" but lacks swordplay. Here's the major defects of Reiko's films: she can't wield a blade for her life! Her subsequent films where she does not use swords are more convincing (i.e., hand to hand combat or guns). There is even a character in this film who dons a hat similar to that of Kaji Meiko in the Scorpion series. She even looks like Meiko.Sexwise, there's a lot more nudity, but that's about it. One major gripe with this Panik House release is that they decided to package it in a clear plastic sleeve which gets rumpled when shrinkwrapped. It also comes with a nice clear sticker (like those you would put on a car) as opposed to the paper stickers included in the Pinky Violence collection and "Sex and Fury."

Summary: Pretty Bad Even for a Pink Film
Comment: Almost two years ago I watched Suzuki Norifumi's film Sex and Fury and while the film was far from being a great movie, it was a fun film because of its over the top action sequences and pumping psychedelic rock soundtrack. There were also quite a few scenes of nudity, especially with the film's female protagonist Ike Reiko, but, for the most part, they fit into the film and did not seem overly gratuitous. Also, the inclusion of Swedish sex film starlet Christina Lindberg was also a nice added touch. Unfortunately the second and final film in the series Female Yakuza Tale: Inquisition and Torture pales in comparison to its predecessor.

Female Yakuza Tale: Inquisition and Torture opening pretty much sets the standard for the entire film when our heroine Inoshika Ocho is attacked by several men and, for some reason or another, within the film's first two minutes she is completely nude. (Maybe it is easier to sword fight in the nude than wearing a constricting kimono.) Anyway, after this opening, Ocho has just arrived in a new city that is crawling with seedy individuals. After being led to a rickshaw by a young woman, she is taken a building where she is at first drugged and then molested. When she comes to, she finds herself nude and next to a dead girl who was killed by having her crotch gouged. A man, who we later learn was a former member of Ogi family gang informs Ocho that she will be accused of being a notorious killer called the "crotch-gouger." The film then continues to degenerate in a senseless mush introducing such characters as Christ Yoshimi, a woman who must kill after she prays, a crime lord called Big Tiger whose past is wrapped up with Ocho's and a few others including a group of prostitutes who smuggle in vials of drugs which have been hidden in their most secret places.

From its opening sequence Female Yakuza Tale: Inquisition and Torture is a complete train wreck. Maybe if the plot had centered on one plot the film might have seemed less disjointed and more coherent and enjoyable. However, if one is just looking to see a lot of flesh, than this is the perfect film for viewers who desire to do so.

Summary: Brilliant sequel
Comment: I love Japanese post-war cinema more and more as my knowledge of the land people and cultures of Japan are increased incrementally with each small experience. I would watch this after we understand who OneTwoThree is and with an understanding of Yakuza culture as a component of Japanese culture as a whole. Some of the imagery of this film will repulse and horrify Americans who are not used to the sincerity and intensity of Japanese feelings towards those violating the rules of their culture. We Americans often talk about some of the things done herein but rarely portray it in our films and written works. There is a poetry and a savagery to this film that raises it far above a simple exploitation film or softcore pornography. It is relevant today for showing how a system may lose its relevance and be abused by some when the polity fails to enforce its rules, and the brutality of the imbalances thus created being righted-are you listening Messrs. Bush and Cheney?

Customer Rating:

Summary: lame soft porn
Comment: Teruo Ishii stretches the patience of his viewers again with yet another 'pinky violence' offering, continueing the tradition of bad story line, absolutely lame sword-fighting choreography and unappealing sex scenes. Yes, the tale does include women forced to smuggle drugs in their apparently gigantic private parts, but that's not enough reason to watch this. Two stars is generous. My recommendation is to buy yourself some good porn or a good samurai movie, but this combo does not work.
