    As i see more and more of this Japanese "sukeban" (bad girls) flicks i can't help to get more surprised of the wide range this films covered. Not only they saw the light way before their american counter-parts, they contained both a more edgy approach and a degree of social comme...( read more)ntary, in one way or another.

    Of course, there are many of this films that suck as equally as some that were made in other parts of the world at that time. But still, they were in most cases years a head in both visual flavour and content.
    Stray Cat Rock:Sex Hunter! (say it loud) is a fine example of the genre. Plus, it has Meiko Kaji on the lead role, and you just can't say not to a woman like her, unless you want her to throw a molotov cocktail right when your having one of your boring snobish parties.

    I just hope they release all the other films of this franchise in R1 one day. The R2 box set has no english subs, as usual -_-

    Similar to the yakuza films of Seijun Suzuki, however, not nearly as highbrow. If you ignore the plot and watch the film as an exercise in style, you won't be bored. A feeling of claustrophobia may occur making a post-gangbang molotov attack seem even more intense.


    Featurin...( read more)g the goddess of vengeance Meiko Kaji of Lady Snowblood fame, Stray Cat Rock: Sex Hunter! is 3rd in a series of 5 films. A hard smack in the face that ends with some of the most brutal, unflinching yakuza-styled violence outside of Kinji Fukasaku's Battles Without Honor.

    When a local girl enters a relationship with a man of "mixed" race (the term "half-breed" is used in the film), Eagles gang boss Baron (Tasuya Fuji) becomes enraged and decides to purge his territory from those not of "pure" Japanese blood. A possible motive for this hatred comes...( read more) in the form of a flashback to a scene of his sister being raped with the suggestion that US servicemen were the perpetrators. As the attacks mount and more men fall prey to their racist violence, Mako (Meiko Kaii), leader of a girl gang decides to set in after the target someone she has falling in love with.

    Colourfully shot and peppered with pop icongraphy, this third instalment in the five strong Stray Cat Rocker series is a vibrant piece of Japanese girl gang cinema. Compared to later Girl Gang/Pinky Violence titles this is a rather muted affair with little nudity and restrained violence which may disappoint some fans. However, there is still much to relish including another poised performance from Kaii - see Female Convict Scorpion and Lady Snowblood for other prime examples.

    The biggest draw here though is the Seijun Suzuki influenced visuals (Hasebe was an understudy of his) and upbeat pop score. The plot itself is also interesting through its examination of Japanese identity and the influence of Western culture on it.

    Overall this is a highly entertaining piece and I recommend it to fans of both Asian cinema and pop culture in general.
