Laikals The greatest movie ever made..!

Raymond Sierra The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

bertom7 This is one of my favorites in Japanese exploitation cinema, the second part out of four from the scorpion series created by Shunya Ito. I consider this movie as a masterpiece, because of its surrealism, color, camera angles, its intensity and its main character, played by Meiko Kaji (also known from Lady Snowblood).Despite its simple plot, its exaggerated violence and eroticism and everything else related to exploitation cinema, Ito manages to create something poetical, original and captivating. Meiko Kaji's second appearance in the Scorpion series is in my opinion the best one. In the first part (Female prisoner 701), Matsu is a poor woman, betrayed by her lover, looking for revenge. In this episode the scorpion woman is more bitter, way more dangerous, and insanely mysterious… The plot is simple: the prison director, Inspector Goda, is mad at her (she stabbed out his eye in the first part), and wants to make her suffer and drive her crazy. He locks her up in the deepest, darkest prison cell available, where she lies tied up on the floor. Matsu is lying on the floor holding a spoon firmly clamped between her teeth and scraping it against the stone floor. She is preparing her revenge… What follows are Goda's desperate attempts trying to break Matsu, which make Matsu's determination even stronger. An escape from prison through dazzling landscapes, meeting the strangest people and experiencing surrealistic and hallucinatory events. A rape, a murder… And a final bloodthirsty, but very satisfying vengeance.Meiko Kaji (also the singer of the original soundtrack song) is delivering an ecstatic performance playing Matsu's character so intensely with only 2(!) lines of text.

Atavisten In a female prison we have two sides, the sadistic prison wards (men) and the vengeful prisoners (women) and although we know these women must have committed some heinous crimes to be in such a prison we also see that the treatment they get must only result in one thing, revenge! 7 girls manage to escape the prison and their sins are not echoing the 7 deadly sins of the bible, it boils down to crimes of jealousy or hatred for loved ones. This simplifies their motives and they are simple creatures also, but so is the other side. At any rate are few movie heroines unbreakable like these are as they are somehow restoring some justice in a male chauvinist world, those pigs deserve it.Kaji Meiko is as cold as the blade of her butcher knife and is great as mute and tougher than Clint, the others were well cast also, but I could wish for some better acting, in specific from the child killer. Anyway, this is not a Bergman movie.The end result is much more than mere exploitation and visual shock, this is for fans of Dario Argento who also knows who Valerie Solanas is.

Dave from Ottawa Another Sergio Leone influenced film in which the protagonist is the sort of character who would traditionally be a villain - a steely eyed, unsmiling killer (lead actress Meiko comes off like a female Charles Bronson) - who happens to be the only principled person in the film's bleak landscape of casual, opportunistic violence. In fact, the whole setting reads like an allegory for the breakdown of moral responsibility: authority figures are motivated not by honor or a desire for justice but by petty revenge. And out of this world (the prison) the main character escapes into something worse: the real world!

Splattii While watching this film the same thought kept going through my mind over and over during the last 20-30 minutes or so....This is so Tarintoesque..... The cinematography, camera shots...music selection...it was dead on Tarentino. I think what I found even more interesting is the fact they used electric guitars given it a spaghetti western feel, and basically giving me flashbacks of Kill Bill 2. Don't get me wrong, it's nothing like the Kill Bill series in terms of plot or story, it's just the whole look and feel. There was one scene in particular in which the camera transition made me feel like I was having De Ja Vu...I'm curious if it's the same transition mentioned in a previous comment.Outside of that, I thought this movie was rather entertaining. The soundtrack (although distorted) was nice and fit the mood well. I've seen my share of female prison films, and like most before me said it's probably the most interesting of the lot. I've seen a lot of violent films also, and although I didn't expect much the graphic scenes were a bit funny as opposed to grotesque. The blood was faker than fake, but by no means did it ruin the film...
