Customer Reviews of Female Yakuza Tale - Inquisition and Torture

Stylish sleaze-fest
Directed by seasoned veteran of Japanese exploitation cinema Teruo ISHII, FEMALE YAKUZA TALE - INQUISITION AND TORTURE is the unrelated sequel to SEX AND FURY (also available on amazon), again starring beautiful and very sexy Reiko IKE as tough as nails female gambler Ocho. Set in Kobe ca. 1920, the story with various fractions of yakuza, revenge and double - crossing is a bit too overconvoluted for its own good. To cut a long story short, let`s just say you can expects LOTS of nudity, sex, violence and sleaze. Some examples of what you can expect here: there are some nasty yakuza who force women to smuggle drugs in their private parts (!) As incentive the poor drug addicted gals get their fix injected in their naked breasts (!) In one particularly sleazy scene our heroine is engaged in a card game with mean yakuza mobster Big Tiger, who foolishly accuses her of cheating and insists that Ocho strips naked (!) to prove she did not hide cards. On the condition that he cuts off some of his fingers in time honoured yakuza-tradition, should he be proven wrong, she drops her clothes (in the process clandestinely disposing of an incriminating card). Now it's time of the unfortunate yakuza to cut off his fingers, but his girl comes to his rescue and asks Ocho for a favour "from woman to woman": Making an obscene gesture with her hand, she begs Ocho to spare Big Tiger's middle finger. It's up to the viewer's dirty imagination, why she asks his finger be spared... <
>The showdown, involving sword- and gunplay, explosions, blood geysirs and about two dozen naked girls (!) is particularly over the top. As if this was not enough there is some downright silly slapstick and funny dialogue ("trashy boss" being my favorite) thrown in for good measure. <
>When all is said and done, FEMALE YAKUZA TALE - INQUISITION AND TORTURE is surely a pleasureable and entertaining way to spend an evening. The film is well-shot with stunning cinematography. Reiko IKE is great. However, I found the film still a bit disappointing. The story is convoluted and over blown. Personally, I found SEX AND FURY a far better film. Sure, there is more sex and violence in INQUISITION (though there is not a shortage of it in SEX AND FURY either), but SEX AND FURY has a better story and is overall a far more rewarding viewing experience. <
>Technically the DVD is great. The film is presented in its original widescreen aspect ratio, colours are nice and the print is pristine. There are also several interesting extra features. First of all the excellent trailer. Then there are picture galleries of promotional art and stills from the film. There are also excellently written production notes and bio- and filmographies of director Terou ISHII and star Reiko IKE. <

Better Than Sex and Fury!
Female Yakuza Tale is the sequel of Sex and Fury in which the geisha pick-pocket, played by Reiko, is embroiled in a yakuza plot to use geisha prostitutes to smuggle drugs to china in their crotches. The conclusion features the nude swordswomen and the Japanese mafia was so bloody and perverse, it would make Tarantino look like Harold Ramis lol. Please note that like Sex and Fury, Female Yakuza Tale is not intended for children.

Disappointing sequel to "Sex and Fury"
Maybe I would have liked this film better if I hadn't watched it right after it predecessor, "Sex and Fury". My expectations were just too high. As it is, I found this follow up to be very disappointing. Where the over the top depictions of violence and sex felt entirely appropriate in the first film, in this film they come off as merely gratuitous and contrived, especially in the final sequence where scores of female nijas strip butt-naked prior to going into battle. Sure, I like the eye candy as much as anyone, but it works better cinematically if there's a discernable point behind it. Probably the worst thing this film has going for it is that its not directed by Norifumi Suzuki. <

>If you've seen "Sex and Fury", I'm sure that you'll want to see this film. You may even enjoy it. For all its shortcomings, I did. Reiko Ike is still beatiful as ever, and the acting, cinematography, and production values are still very high quality. Just be warned. It does not come anywhere near the cinematic brilliance of the first film.
