Some of these films may… The main character in Stray Cat Rock: Delinquent Girl Boss is the camera. If you're a fan of Pinky Violence films then you might like this one. But I don’t know that I’ve ever seen one where every death is basically the fault of the hero. Of course, Mei's gang is not going to leave him to the gangsters, especially when helped by an enigmatic and independent female biker called Ako (Akiko Wada).
The third and most cohesive of the Stray Cat Rock movies, which tend to ramble aimlessly. I definitely want to start this by saying that all the cast killed it here, however, I just don't think this is one for me. Stray Cat Rock: Sex Hunter (野良猫ロック セックスハンター, Nora-neko rokku: sekkusu hantaa) or Alleycat Rock: Sex Hunter is a 1970 Japanese film directed by Yasuharu Hasebe.
The camera moves around like crazy, split screen shots are used and there are odd but great angles. The energetic and funky music is noteworthy, useing elements of 70s rock, jazz and some japanese singing make for a truely memorable and unique soundtrack.A fun film with interesting characters, great atmosphere from the music and cinematography, truly feeling like a slice of 70s psychedelia. It has thin characters in the same way Streets of Fire has 'thin characters' - large, mythic archetypes representing the idea of characters rather than characters themselves, eternal gladiators living in this mystical, pre-apocalyptic world of violence and neon nights. It is constantly in motion, swaying up and down, right and left, down hallways, around corners, retreating as fast as possible, scanning the horizon, hanging out at the discotheque, following the flow of pedestrian traffic on a sidewalk or a knife fight or a dune buggy/motorcycle chase, etc.
A group of five friends, also known as the Pelican Gang, spends time hanging out in the city, driving around in their all-terrain buggy car and listening to psychedelic jazz fusion when one of them is approached by a mysterious horse-riding girl named Asako (Bunjaku Han) who suggests they rob 30 million yen from a religious movement called Seikyo Gakkei. And more pointedly political too, with its villainous gang (The Eagles) fueled by an ideology of racial purity, an outgrowth of childhood trauma and impotence. A good portion is spend with the gangs day by day life, which makes them sympathatic and those moment are fun too. Meiko Kaji kicks some serious ass!Just a list of Asian films I've watched so far. Go to the The definitive list of movies that are: 1) Horribly violent or exploitative 2) Emotionally devastating or psychologically torturous 3) Offensive…I wanted to have a huge list to query through / pull from when I'm in the mood for a… A street girl gang clashes with racist local gangsters after … Listed in reverse chronological order.Pinku Eiga, Pinky Violence, Roman Porno, and other related films. Of course it doesn't depict any of these rapes in a way that would titillate (unless you're a really sick fuck) and had the movie ended with the mid-film molotov cocktail sequence, I might be whistling a different tune. An American style blazer or skirt certainly lacks the elegance and beauty of traditional Japanese clothing.This strange postwar clash of cultures made for some fascinating art, though.
C+. Instead of being a tough gang, the group is now a bunch of no-good hippies.
It's all here. Just as a general warning: If you’re about to deal a large quantity of drugs to notorious gangsters, just practice a little bit of caution in the hours leading up to the transaction. I was ready and willing to completely give up on this series but I gave it one more spin for the sake of the queen of Japanese 1970’s cinema Meiko Kaji and I’m SO glad that I did because it’s actually a really solid movie with something legitimately meaningful to say.Stray Cat Rock: Sex Hunter (the title is absolutely meaningless and is, like the other titles in the series, an unrelated group of words meant to sound cool) follows the exploits of an all-girl gang of troublemakers (headed up by Meiko Kaji) as they find themselves in the crosshairs of a malicious gang of…Another Stray Cat Rock movie, another completely different set of juvenile delinquents featuring Meiko Kaji. Themes of race amongst the native Japanese and mixed-raced individuals, but also in one particularly scene the race relations of White Americans and Japanese is also showcased. Letterboxd 3.8/5. The fuse is lit.Who the fuck knows what was going on in this and, really, who cares? For example, don’t go bowling with the canister that contains the stash and then rush out of the bowling alley when you get spooked and leave it out in the open. share. Meiko Kaji stars looking fantastic in an outfit only Yoko Ono or Christina Lindberg could rock. Stray Cat Rock: Delinquent Girl Boss is a beautiful thing. The theme running through them is youth, rebellion and defiance served up on a spectrum from light to heavy anarchy. Let it wash over you.The kind of genre picture where a director, cinematographer and composer throw everything on the screen and see what sticks. 781 films watched. The series swansong, Beat '71, sees Kaji framed and sent to prison by her boyfriend's father and with the help of some hippies she strives to be re-united. A group of five friends known as the “Pelican Gang” spend time hanging out, driving around in their all-terrain buggy and listening to psychedelic jazz fusion. It is an awesome piece of late 60s/early 70s Japanese Pop Art kind of film. The rock music gets replaced by pissy folk sounds. calebyes uses Letterboxd to share film reviews and lists. Holding back a lot of the potential of the film which should have been spent of characters, better fights and the ending. Keeps the groovy aesthetic but has a political message!
