There's a lady prostitute in this who keeps her retarded brother barricaded in a closet and only takes him out to feed him and regularly have sex with him. She winds up getting impregnated by him and then getting a forced(by her pimps/gangster bosses) abortion where a doctor rips her 6-month old baby out with a large hook. This isn't the main plot of the film but definitely the most unforgettable part of this to me. The main plot deals with the fugitive known as Scorpion(the great Meiko Kaji returning from FEMALE PRISONER #701: SCORPION) on the run from the law. It starts out with a bang as a neck gets sliced and an arm hacked off before the credits even role. Things do end up back in women-in-prison territory before it's all over with a bit of a confusing ending. Overall though while not as spectacular and artsy as the first film this one is still a good shocking follow-up.
This is the 3rd film in the FEMALE SCORPION series and was meant to be the last part of the trilogy. I guess they made some money though because they went on to make one more with Meiko Kaji and then a few with various new leads. I've only seen the first film and this 3rd entry but they are pretty amazing examples of some good Japanese pinky violence so I look forward to viewing the rest when I get a hold of them.
