Meiko Kaji plays Hijiriko, a bored cashier at a swingers' club in Tokyo, who has lost interest in the orgies that take place before her eyes (which are all shot as inserts, without the actress present). One evening Hijiriko takes off in a client's car and crashes into Jiro (Watase), a thug on the run from his turncoat buddies, who has five million yen of their money stashed in his jacket. Hungry for a bit of adventure ("Nothing's any fun anymore"), she gets in his car and the newly formed couple drive off, setting into motion a spree of crimes as they cross the country in search of Jiro's sister, with a quartet of vicious hoods on their heels. Events turn desperate when Jiro loses his fortune and the couple have no choice but to embrace their status of outlaws.
IMDB
Director Sadao Nakajima gives the film a breezy pace and this is kept up well for the duration. The opening of the film is violent and bloody and while it never quite reaches this high again; there's still plenty of over the top splatter. The most interesting element of the film stems from the relationship between the two central characters. The director was possibly aiming to cash in on the success of the Female Prisoner Scorpion series a little with Meiko Kaji's character; who is her usual frosty self. She is offset well by Tsunehiko Watase's 'Jack the lad' character and the pair makes for an interesting central duo. There's always plenty going on with regards to the plot and the film hardly stands still for a second, which is very much to its credit. It all boils down to a frenzied and bloody, but also rather tragic ending that rounds things off nicely. Overall, this is certainly an excellent little Pinky Violence and while it's not the easiest one to find, it's certainly worth the effort.
