    if this is the best pinky violence has to offer i don't think i'll be that bothered about the rest of the genre. no i'm not some do-gooder jesus freak that doesn't like sex and nudity. i'm not someone that gets bored by subtitles either. i definitely aint someone who shys away fr...( read more)om violence. i just found it bloody boring. it's one of those flicks you'll watch once out of interest and never bother to put on again. snnooooozefest!

    Amazing, amazing sword fights and gratuitous sex and nudity. Sex and Fury is more fun than it is good (the English-speaking scenes are the purest proof of this) and it's not without it's completely bizarre moments. The Ocho torture scene with Christina Lindberg in a Native-Americ...( read more)an girl outfit and the stained-glass Jesus with boobs (I'm not shitting you here, kids) says it all on that subject. The bathtub scene and the final battle borrow liberally from Kill Bill I and after watching you can see why. A fun revenge flick/visual feast.

    Like a raunchier version of Lady Snowblood. Reiko Ike might not had the class and prescense of Meiko Kaji, but she certainly fitted well for this kind of flicks. Worth a check for any fan of Japanese 70s xplotation.

    I understand its influence and the respect it is paid by some Japanese cult movie fans, but I consider it totally pervert and disgusting. Films like the ones directed by Imamura and even Miike have a very present brilliance, but in case this is the best the genre has to offer, I'...( read more)m disappointed.



    Believe me when say I can see the momentary beauty and great cinematography and choreography of this film, but hell... was it meant to be like this?

    Just as the title implies that is what the movie is all about. Like Thriller: A Cruel Picture it is a revenge flick because the protagonist Ocho played by Reiko Ike sets out to find the people who murdered her father when she was a child. The ever beautiful and amazing Christi...( read more)na Lindberg makes the most of her supporting role in this one and if you are a fan of hers you will not be disappointed. Check this one out if you like 1970s Japanese sex and violence films.

    you got to love a film that about 10 minutes into it....the female lead, Ocho is taking a bath when there is an assasination attempt on her life. Leaping out of the tub, only wearing her birthday suit and armed with a sword, she kills everyone in a awsome bloody mess! This basica...( read more)lly sets the tone for the rest of this great film.
    Sex and Fury is a great Pinky Violence film. One of the best forms of exploitation.
    Also starring Christina Lindberg, star of Thriller - A Cruel Picture.
