Girl Boss Guerilla
Norifumi Suzuki at full speed. Reiko Ike is the whole show.
Norifumi Suzuki at full throttle. A female biker gang rolls into Kyoto and muscles in on the local rackets, and the film is a breathless mix of brawls, nudity and genuine visual flair. Reiko Ike is the magnetic gang leader, and Suzuki shoots the whole thing with more energy than the budget suggests.
It is exploitation with real style, and Suzuki's compositions and pacing lift it above the standard delinquent picture. The tonal swerves, comedy to brutality and back, are characteristic of the cycle.
A representative and highly watchable entry in Toei's pinky violence line.

Written about
- Meiko Kaji and the art of not blinking
Toei hired her to headline prison quickies. She built the most-copied performance in Japanese genre cinema out of about forty lines of dialogue.
Filed alongside
Stray Cat Rock: Sex Hunter
Meiko Kaji before Toei, leading a girl gang through Nikkatsu's coolest delinquent picture.
Zero Woman: Red Handcuffs
Toei's red-coated killer cop, and the blueprint for every lone avenging woman after her.
Horrors of Malformed Men
Suppressed by Toei for decades. Butoh dancing, an island, and total delirium.
Female Prisoner Scorpion: Jailhouse 41
Ito's second, and the most formally daring film in the whole category.
Blind Beast
Masumura, one set, three actors, and an ending that goes much further than expected.
School of the Holy Beast
The Japanese entry, and formally the most accomplished of them.
