The vagina gets stuffed and gouged at regular intervals throughout Female Yakuza Tale. But it's not just about vagina's it's also about boobs. Japanese men are continually seen fondling and suckling at the female teet. Director Teruo Ishii uses every possible opportunity to show female nudity he can, even throwing some in while the opening credits are running. Ochô is shown taking on several men in a downpour and she loses pieces of her clothing eventually fighting completely naked. There is considerably more nudity and sexuality than violence in this film, at least up to the final outrageous battle. In the end, the women do get a gratifying revenge. Ochô is a great character, she is strong and confident and even when she is naked and bound she is uttering threats. We spend time getting to know some of the secondary players as Ochô crosses their paths which made for some entertaining sub-plots. My major complaint about the film is its sleazy premise is lightened considerably by slapstick comedy that sometimes fell flat. The gags were pretty PG for a film that was otherwise rated R. I won't deny there were a few moments that cracked me up. Most notably when a character THROWS a bullet into another characters eye! I really think the film would have benefited from a little less cheesy humour. Female Yakuza Tale has some wildly perverse and even disturbing moments despite the humour that give the film some exploitative bite. Visually, the film is very watchable. Its colourful and cheery sets and strangely buoyant music add a twisted flair that gave the film a unique vibe.Of course it all comes down to those nasty Yakuza! Among the criminal underworld there is double-crossing and dirty dealings and it all centers around the new boss of the Ogi Clan. We learn through a flashback that Ochô feels a debt of gratitude to the old boss for saving her when she was very young from losing fingers. After Ochô is caught cheating while gambling, he allows his own finger to be severed instead. The bad ass that did the severing is coming to see the new boss to collect on a gambling debt. Ochô challenges him to a game of cards to erase the debt and to do some finger collecting of her own. Besides his drug interests and gambling problems the new boss of the Ogi Clan has been hiding the old boss' young daughter in a mental asylum. You'll have to see for yourself how this all unfolds! I'll tell you only this, it features what I can only guess is a mentally disturbed Kabuke theatre troop. Fighting naked would have some advantages. Regular street clothes wouldn't do much to protect you from a weapon anyway, why not distract your opponent with nudity?! The final battle set in a warehouse features a group of Yakuza about to battle amongst themselves only to find an army of women have collected on the upper floor with their own agenda. The women remove their clothing one by one and soon we have a whole lot of naked women killing the hell out of a bunch of Yakuza in an outrageous and bloody spectacle! It really must be seen to be appreciated. Its awkward mix of sleaze and humour doesn't always work but a strong lead and enough bizarre and memorable moments make Female Yakuza Tale: Inquisition and Torture a trip worth taking. Recommended.

I can't help but admit that a couple times during the middle of the flick, I'd be questioning myself and the character's motives. But in the back of my head it's quite obvious that the characters are cemented in their goals and pursuits of happiness....vengeance. With my idiocy aside, this flick was a really fun trip into Female Yakuza silliness.Right from the opening scene you'll know if this type of flick is for you or not. And I have to ask, who on earth wouldn't want to see this flick after the initial opening sequence? It's awesome. Let me give you a hint with written sounds effects. "Jiggle", "Slash", "Jiggle", "Arrgghh!" The flick focuses primarily on investigation and revenge. There are a few main characters to worry about, but all with having original writing and having good actors portraying them, no matter who's on screen, it's never a bore. Especially the women characters who aren't afraid to shed their clothing....which is pretty much every single female in the flick. "Sha-wing!" Female Yakuza Tale Inquisition and Torture is one hell of a title, but it's just, since this is one hell of a movie. It has the sleaze, the violence (not enough unfortunately), the nudity, the story, the characters, basically it has almost everything you're looking for in a Violent Pinky flick. Just remember this, "Your pussy will catch a cold."

The beautiful Reiko Ike returns in this low-budget sequel to "Sex and Fury". A non-stop, rather confusing tale of gangs, drug running and revenge, "Female Yakuza Tale: Inquisition and Torture" is a wonderfully visual movie with a great '70s score and an excellent cast.Despite finding the plot a little too convoluted, I enjoyed watching this movie. The scenes of softcore romps with middle-aged men started to exceed their welcome in no time at all but the film has a decent pace and energy that allows it to overcome its limitations. Reiko Ike is a stunning actress and steals every scene. Her willingness to give 100% to the film soon becomes apparent in the opening credits where she manages to full disrobe in the midst of a sword fight with numerous assailants.Not the most exciting crime thriller I've seen from Japan, "Female Yakuza Tale" is still an entertaining movie from bonkers director Teruo Ishii.

After the stunning 'Sex & Fury', Rieko Ike reprises her role of Ocho in 'Female Yakuza Tale', but this outing is markedly inferior as director Teruo Ishii simply does not exhibit any of the visual style which Norifumi Suzuki displayed in the original. Despite it's rather unpleasant storyline about female drug mules at times seems like a slapstick comedy and fails to engage the viewer. The film also suffers from an overly large cast - characters are introduced who do virtually nothing & screen time is eaten up by a meandering plot, unfunny slapstick and rather unerotic nudity. Most annoyingly Rieko Ike is simply not on screen for long enough.The film does have it's moments, with the most stunning sequence being the opening fight where a parasol spinning Ocho butchers a gang of men while losing her clothing. Infuriatingly the opening credits are plastered over this scene which was obviously cut short before it's conclusion. One wonders if this was an out-take from 'Sex & Fury' as it is so different in style from everything else in the movie. None of the other fights come close to this one and the climactic battle between the male villains and an army of naked women is disappointing, totally lacking the outstanding choreography and slo-mo intensity which made Ike's naked fight in 'Sex & Fury' so outstanding. 'Female Yakuza Tale' is worth watching if you are a fan of Japanese exploitation despite it not being anywhere near as good as it's predecessor - maybe if you plan to watch them, you should see this first.
