STRAY CAT ROCK: SEX HUNTER (1970) Despite its title, this is not really a pinku eiga. It's more like a Japanese version of Switchblade Sisters (which the "Stray Cat Rock"series predates). Still, this film would be right at home (and might've even played) at my favorite grindhouses like the King Theatre on Vineyard St. in Wailuku, or the Hawaii, Liberty, and Asian Twin Theatres on Oahu (ever notice how those "historic Hawaii Theatre" ads always neglect to mention its long stint as a sleazy Japanese grindhouse?). This films deals with a Dagger Debs/Silver Daggers-type relationship between the cool girl gang led by Mako (Meiko Kaji of Female Convict Scorpion) and the Eagles (what a lameass name), led by the Baron. The Eagles are a Willys jeep driving gang of loser who look too old to be J.D.'s and too wimpy to be yakuza. The interconnected storylines all deal with the Baron's hatred of hapa guys. (Being hapa myself, I knew there was a reason I hated this guy!) Mako won't put up with the Baron's racist crap, so he decides to pimp out the girl gang to a bunch of date rapists. Big mistake! Mako saves the day... with a Molotov cocktail. That's only a small sampling. Anyone who drooled over KILL BILL really needs to watch the real thing instead. The closing shot of Meiko Kaji is a classic. Strangely, I can only find this film (the middle of the series) available in the U.S. - Evil Larry , posted 06/26/05 |
