Guest kungfusamurai Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 I've seen this DVD around, but wasn't sure if it was good as an action flick, or if it's only good point was the sex stuff. How is the fight choreography? KFS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest aliu321 Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 No, this isn't the film for fight choreography. But it's pretty good for an exploitation film.Think LadySnowblood with soft core. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kungfusamurai Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 Yeah, from the reviews I read, it was more about the sex and gore than the fighting. But I was hoping there would be some reasonably good choreography. Oh well, I might just get it and the sequel anyway. KFS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Daisho2004 Posted December 4, 2005 Share Posted December 4, 2005 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kungfusamurai Posted December 4, 2005 Share Posted December 4, 2005 I asked about them a couple of weeks ago: Sex and Fury Thread I ordered them from DeepdiscountDVD as part of their sale, so hopefully they'll still be worth checking out.

Guest Invincible Armour Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 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..

Guest Daisho2004 Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 Yeah I ordered both of them so I'll post a review in a few days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kungfusamurai Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 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. KFS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Cheng Li Posted January 2, 2015 Member Share Posted January 2, 2015 Hey there KFC-Community, I'm currently looking for a good release of the Sex and Fury movie from 1974 by Noribumi Suzuki. Perhaps the two most interesting ones are the UK-DVD by Fabulous and the American one by Panik House Entertaiment. Which one should I look for or are they basically the same release? Also I looked through amazon.com and found the following: Sex and Fury - amazon.com #1 Sex and Fury - amazon.com #2 Are these the same DVDs? Both are apparently by Panik House Entertaiment but different covers Thanks for you help Regards, Cheng li Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator KUNG FU BOB Posted January 3, 2015 Administrator Share Posted January 3, 2015 I'm not sure if those are the same release or not, but it would make sense as the original release from Panik had a unique cover. It was a clear cover that had the art printed on it and slipped over the actual DVD case. So if they reissued it I wouldn't be surprised if it had a standard cover the second time. Just a guess though. The "white cover" is the one I have with that fancy cover. The print and subs on this edition looked great to me. I don't have the Fabulous release, so I can't compare for you.

Member Takuma Posted January 3, 2015 Member Share Posted January 3, 2015 The white one is the original Panik House cover. After Panik House went bust, Synapse acquired their catalogue and re-released some of their titles. That's the yellow cover one. Should be otherwise identical. The UK disc should be a pretty good, but slightly inferior alternative: http://film.thedigitalfix.com/content/id/64937/sex-and-fury.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Tex Killer Posted January 3, 2015 Member Share Posted January 3, 2015 http://film.thedigitalfix.com/content/id/64937/sex-and-fury.html I`ve had disc 3-4 years at least but so far never watched it.
