I came across these DVD's on ebay has anyone seen them, if so how are they?


Sex and Fury:
From the creator of the sukeban, or delinquency, genre of Japanese sexploitation films, comes this explosion of violence, sex, and just plain fun. Cult icon Reiko Ike stars as Ochô Inoshika, a pickpocket and gambler who gets into a heap of trouble when she meets the three villains responsible for her father's death. After providing refuge for an anarchist on the lam, Inoshika gets on the wrong side of some Yakuza baddies who want her dead, and she is forced to fight for her life. Meanwhile, a beautiful European spy (Christina Lindberg, THRILLER: A CRUEL PICTURE) sets about implementing the evil plot of her diplomat boss. A milestone of pop culture madness that influenced Quentin Tarantino's KILL BILL series, legendary director Norifumi Suzuki's (FEMALE YAKUZA TALE: INQUISITION & TORTURE) bloodbath is beautifully photographed in a number of stunning locations



Female Yakuza Tale : Inquisition & Torture
Synopsis:
aka: The Pinky Violence Collection - Female Yakuza Tale: Inquisition & Torture; Yasagure anego den: sôkatsu rinchi

In Meiji-era Tokyo there are no rules, and Ocho (Reiko Ike) is back, reprising her role from notorious cult director Teruo Ishii's SEX AND FURY. Ocho is a dangerous fighter, gambler, and thief whose clothing is often in danger of falling off, and this film is equal to its predecessor in the sheer volume of its blood, sex, and mayhem. When Ocho is kidnapped by a drug trafficking ring, she plans a dangerous escape, and aided by a mysterious loner (Ryohei Uchida), she investigates the gang's activities. They are engaged in smuggling heroin into the country by using as mules women forced into prostitution. Inevitably, Ocho must face off with the brutal Yakuzas and their equally deadly, beautiful swordswomen. A clear reference point for Quentin Tarantino's KILL BILL series, this anarchistic filmmaking foray represents the apex of the director's 50-year career, during which he produced such gems as HORROR OF MALFORMED MEN and BLIND BEAST VS. KILLER DWARF.

I asked about them a couple of weeks ago:

Sex and Fury Thread (http://p081.ezboard.com/fkungfufandomfrm25.showMessage?topicID=779.topic)

I ordered them from DeepdiscountDVD as part of their sale, so hopefully they'll still be worth checking out.

You need to see this film , I got the DVD a few days ago

It features a lot of hate from the main character
and a strong story narative and character devlopment

plus highlevel Katana work from the femme fatle her self...

strong visuals make this an all round classic..

I just got this in the mail. I didn't sit through it and watch it, but scanned some of the fight scenes. They are alright. The choreography isn't spectacular, but I'd say it's on par with films of the late 60's and early 70's. The fight scene earlier in the movie is partially only shown from the legs down (the one where she's totally naked and running through the snow), but I think that was done more for artistic effect rather than hiding the actress's bad skills.

I will definitely sit down and watch this flick. I think its worth getting for fans of Japanese yakuza/action films.
