41 -1972- -... — Female Prisoner Scorpion- Jailhouse

By 1972, the Japanese film industry had perfected the pinky violence formula: fast, cheap, and drenched in blood and soft-core exploitation. The Female Prisoner Scorpion series, however, was never content to just titillate. The second installment, Jailhouse 41 , directed by the visionary Shunya Itō (who replaced the series’ originator, Norifumi Suzuki, after the first film), is not merely a sequel. It is a radical, nearly avant-garde work of feminist rage, Kabuki-inflected horror, and existential Western—all anchored by the unblinking, utterly iconic stare of Meiko Kaji.
