Fandor - Films, glorious films

Sukeban Deka: Dirty Mary « Sketches of Cinema Sukeban deka: daati Marii (Japan, 1974) Yasuharu Hasebe was quite a unique director for having pioneered two very different type of genres. Following his success in the Nikkatsu Action genre Hasebe directed the film that set the standard for all modern girl gang movies: Stray Cat Rock: Girl Boss (1970). But it was soon after Hasebe’s pop-art tornado that Nikkatsu nearly went bankrupt, and switched almost exclusively to pink cinema. Most of the studio’s talent found themselves looking for a new employer. Hasebe’s second golden era was, however, nowhere else but at Nikkatsu. Sukeban Deka: Dirty Mary, which was not related to Shinji Wada’s Sukeban Deka manga that rocked the world two years later, was the last film Hasebe made for Nikkatsu before becoming the leading director in violent pink. Dirty Mary, to some extent at least, could indeed pass as one of the numerous Dirty Harry sequels. Like this: Like Loading...

Movidiam. Connect, Collaborate, Create. THESE AMERICANS | T.A. oakland MEIKO KAJII I have only actually seen the diminutive but powerful Meiko Kaji in a couple films but am in the process of correcting that. I saw her in three of the four Female Scorpion films she starred in and the second of the Lady Snowblood movies that served as a (not "the") inspiration for the Quentin Taratino Kill Bill films. She is my favorite of the Pinky Violence Big Four (Meiko Kaji, Ike Reiko, Oshida Reiko and Sugimoto Riki) but maybe only because I have seen her in more films than the others. I am trying to get as many of these films as I can and see if that opinion changes later. I selected her to begin this new series/category called Psychotronic Personas since I had just seen Lady Snowblood II and got a collection of 60’s/70’s Japanese film music that featured her among the various artists. Like many Japanese actors and actresses her acting career paralleled a successful singing career.
