This is the first in a four-part series of DELINQUENT GIRL BOSS films. This one seems a bit tamer than the other GIRL BOSS series that Toei studio put out but this one came first so maybe that's why. You do get a rape and women are beaten up but it doesn't show or linger quite as much as I've come to expect from some of the other movies in the "Pinky Violence" genre. The big boss bad guy here is rather sleazy just in appearance and a lot of this film just seems like a spoof of more serious Yakuza movies from Japan. There is a junkie and trannie character which are two things that really set this one aside from being too generic. Also a lot of the scenes take place in a super-stylish hippie bar complete with go-go dancers and some groovy tunes. Come for the fashions stay for the sword-fighting gangsters.Take a look at this one if you want to see a well done film that's not as extremely lurid as you might think. AKA TOKYO BAD GIRLS
