Teruo Ishii's West Side Story, done as a bloody, violent, sexploitative biker gang film. It's the Red Chilis versus the Black Cats, and the chick who just may heal the divide.

Japanese film based on the life of sculptor Eikichi Takahashi, who died as a soldier on Guadalcanal.

Tasogare ni hyōteki o ute

A Single Flower Withered

The Forbidden Fruit

Shihomi Etsuko plays a race car driver who also lends out her services to the Japanese Secret Service. Although there really isn't much of a "chase" to be seen, Shihomi does pursue a cartel of drug runners and assorted Japanese yakuza types. While the story is pure 70's exploitation and gritty crime drama, the best reason to see it is for the Martial Arts Action of Etsuko Shihomi. The action is over-the-top and at times hilarious (i.e. Shihomi battling the lead criminal atop a moving gondola or Shihomi battling a whip-wielding Catholic Nun).

The film is based on the graphic novel of the same name by Teruo Tanashita, Mari Atsumi plays a pickpocket trying to get hold of a valuable but elusive diamond brooch called "Star".
