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 commentary, 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 -_-
