Rika 3: Juvenile's Lullaby Trailers

Reform schools are a way of protecting society by ridding it of lawless juvenile delinquents. But who's protecting the juvenile delinquents from corrupt reform schools? Rica could be considered a bit of an expert on reform schools, having spent most of her early life in and out of them. When Rica is dragged back once again, she gets a severe beating and is finally sent off to a mental hospital with the intention of selling her and her pals into a slave trade. A trader takes Rica's friend Jun to a mountain cottage where she's pegged for the lead in his clandestine porno film operation. Once again, it's up to tough-as-nails Rica to bust up this corrupt racket once and for all!

Reviews
Nonureva Really Surprised!
KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.
Zlatica One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.
Catherina If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.
Uriah43 As in the preceding two movies the juvenile delinquent named "Rica Aoki" (Rika Aoki) has been brought to a reform school and has to establish herself among her peers. The leader of the female delinquents in this reform school is known as "Tornado Oman" (Masami Souda) and in order to maintain her leadership feels that she must get Rica to recognize her authority. Naturally, Rica has no intention of following anybody's lead and because of that a fight breaks out which is eventually stopped by the guards with no clear winner being established. Not long afterward, Rica breaks out of the reform school and becomes involved with a young Amerasian girl by the name of "June" (Yoshie Ichige) which results in other problems for everyone concerned. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that this third film in the "Rica Trilogy" pretty much carried the same general themes as its other two predecessors. Along with following the same standard plot its definite low-budget overtones, followed by a lack of intensity, didn't particularly help this movie in any way. It was pretty much the same old thing only less entertaining. For that reason I have rated this film accordingly. Slightly below average.
