I had nothing better to do, so I scanned a few pictures of my Tokugawa irezumi-shi: Seme Jigoku dvd cover. Sooo badass…

“…Currently, just as I write this, I’m in the studio on Reel 4 of Malformed Men. We’ve finished the video transfers of Female Demon Ohysku, Ginza Butterfly and Ginza She-Cat Gambler. You’ll be happy to know these transfers FAR exceed our expectations. Because of the age of the films (going on almost 40 years old for some of these), I expected them to be, well, somewhat of a mess… they aren’t. Actually, the transfers have, so far, been quite stunning. The colors and detail in the elements are just jaw-dropping! Sure, they will need a bit of work (I’m just that way… I’m too much of a perfectionist to let some things go), but I assure you that these transfers of the titles I’ve done so far are some of the best work we’ve done. And, yes, we are transferring them in high-definition!..”

Is there a date set for “Malformed” yet?

84

Not as far as I know. Probably a good thing if it takes a little before these get released. I get a chance to use a fortune on Stray Cat Rock films first ;D

Actually I’m an huge admirer of Pinky Violence-Cinema, but “Beautiful Girl Hunter” was just crap in my opinion. There’s no point to the story, no revenge-stuff, it just shows off how to degrade women in most disgusting ways.

The French found roman porno…



Coming to dvd on July 4 from Cinemalta:

Tokugawa onna keibatsu-shi (1968)



Teruo Ishii’s original â€

93

I think I forgot to mention, I did a comparison for Tokugawa onna keibatsu-shi dvds here:

<LINK_TEXT text=“http://www.bulletsnbabesdvd.com/forums/ … php?t=2515”>The Joy of Torture: Japan Shock vs Toei - Bullets 'n' Babes</LINK_TEXT>



As you can see, The Dutch release by Japan Shock (which includes bad quality english subtitles) really doesn’t fare well against the remastered Toei release. I think there’s also a German dvd but it should be dubbed so I don’t see why anyone would want to own it. Just get the Toei.

Two wonderful posters I’d like to own (pics stolen from ebay, therefore the seller “logo”)



Yukio Noda’s Zero Woman: Red Handcuffs and Teruo Ishii’s Genroku onna keizu

Tokugawa onna keibatsu-emaki: Ushi-zaki no kei (1976)

I had quite a fight getting through this film. I’m no gore geek but this is the most shocking motion picture I have ever seen. I had to take a little break after the first 40 minutes. Since the movie consists of two separate stories, I thought the second one might be a bit easier. Indeed, it begins with some pretty shots and, believe it or not, some very funny and innocent humour. But soon it turns out that this second half is in fact even more stomach churning than the first one. I could keep my eyes on the screen for the first half, but during the second one I had to close my eyes three times and I finally fell off from my bed and hit my head during the abortion scene (no kidding, I was trying get further away from the screen and the bed was shorter than I thought…).



As you might espect, this is another studio (Toei) production with high production values. That certainly doesn’t make the film any easier to watch. The special effects are mostly terrifyingly convincing. Legs being hammered into pieces in close up images etc. + the usual rape stuff. The level of cruelty is very high and even expands to subjects usually taboo such as little kids. The first episode is definitelly gonna offend most viewers, and while I’d like to despise it too I couldn’t help but to be impressed by the wonderfully obscure use of music. There can be a brutal butchery going on and the director’s playing a sweet love song melody on the background… I also liked the tension just before to final execution, although it was basically like waiting for a fist to hit your face.



The second part of the film is a harder to stomach, in every sense of the word. As I mentioned, there’s some wonderful humour here and there, and some scenes are also genuinely sad and touching. There’s also a rather decent story here with somewhat sympathetic performances by the main cast. You find yourself hoping they could escape and everything would turn out for the best for them, for both their and your own sake. What’s most likely to happen to them is something so terrible that you’d rather watch the doing nothing and bore to death as long as they wouldn’t have to suffer anymore. And you wouldn’t have to witness it. No such luck here. The ending, which has a healthy dose of extremely dark humour, feels almost unfair.



Despite the title, Yuuji Makiguchi’s Tokugawa onna keibatsu-emaki: Ushi-zaki no kei (also known as The Joy of Torture 2: Oxen Split Torturing aka Shogun’s Sadism) has little to do with the enjoyable Teruo Ishii film made 8 years before. These films also differ stylistically like day and night, with Ishii’s film concentrating on story and only delivering a few soft core shocks, and Makiguchi’s vision lying heavily on sadism and only using other elements to spice up the soup. Still, there’s an odd moment of artistry and beauty here and there.

4/10











[size=80]going nearly off topic by reviewing a film much more of general exploitation than pinky

violence. But it being a semi-sequel to Ishii’s pinky violence classic I found it best to place the review

Discotek update



“The fantastic Blind Woman’s Curse starring Meiko Kaji will be coming out in April.”

That’s great news, I’m so looking forward to “Blind Woman’s Curse”. You know, I love Pinky Violence, but when it comes to exploitation, gimme the “mainstream” only. “Zero Woman: Red Handcuffs” is fine, but I don’t think I could handle stuff like “Tokugawa onna keibatsu-emaki: Ushi-zaki no kei”. But very well written review, by the way. :wink:



Still waiting for a decent DVD-Release of “Hot Springs: Mimizu Geisha”, though. Hello, anyone there?

Hello, no one here!



Our best chance would be a US company… Reiko and Miki are both hot right now ( ;D) so there’s a very slim chance I think. I don’t see Toei releasing it anytime soon (= the next 200 years) (they’ve got more “important” stuff to release).



Then there’s the french but they haven’t even started yet. The dutch are officially dead. The germans released some dubbed versions of Ishii films in the past, but I don’t know if there’s ever gonna be decent remasters.



I have to say I’m a little bit surprised only Panik House and Discotek are showing any kind of interest for the genre in the US. There’s a wide fan base for these films, and Toei’s source materials are in excellent condition. It shouldn’t be too hard to give these films quality releases…



btw, an old rumour said that HK Video had Ishii’s ‘torture’ or ‘tokugawa’ (can’t remember) films but I don’t know… They’re busy with their Chiba discs and HK films…

Stealing from twitch…







The poster may look… uhmm… confusing… but listen to this.



Sukeban has a problem. The foulmouthed, hard-fighting son of a biker, the teenaged boy has been cursed with the looks of a pop princess. The looks lead to teasing, the teasing leads to fighting, the fighting leads to expulsions - expulsions from every boys’ high school in the region. What’s a biker who’s nurturing conflicted feelings for his gender-confused child to do in such a situation? Simple! Dress the boy up as a girl and enroll him in an all-girls high school. But girls’ schools are strange, disturbing places and, within a day of arriving, Sukeban has been signed up for humiliation classes and forced to do battle with the various school gangs: the Pantyhose League, the No-Bra League, and - of course - the Full Strip League. Wasting no opportunities to spread jiggling flesh across the screen, is SUKEBAN BOY a blazingly funny parody of the schoolgirl fetish film, or simply one of the most memorable fetish films ever made? By the time the nipple clamps and breast guns make an appearance, you simply won’t care. Bizarre, hysterical and horribly wrong in absolutely all the right ways, SUKEBAN BOY is an unmissable guilty pleasure

This is either gonna be as terrible as it looks like, or not. Based on manga, but I don’t think anyone cares. HK dvd out tomorrow.







March 3, 2007 update



Sukeban Boy (Oira sukeban)



So bad it’s good? Nah, this is just bad and that’s all there is to it. The jokes are mostly awful, although there’s a some good ones too. One death scene almost made me fall off the chair. And the very next scene made me want to close the television so there we go, it’s even again. Some funny scenes I admit but an equal amount is irritating scenes as well. The way the girls talk, which meant to be some sort of â€
