Terrifying Girls' High School: Delinquent Convulsion Group

Terrifying Girls' High School: Delinquent Convulsion Group (Kyofu Joshi Koko – Furyo Monzetsu Guruupu, 1973, directed by Masahiro Shimura). From Panik House's Pinky Violence. "...What is Pinky Violence? It's a line of sexy, action-exploitation thrillers begun in the late sixties in Japan. These films featured female yakuzas and girl boss guerillas duking it out for their freedom, their pride and their own piece of the pie. This electrifying genre mixed titillation with social commentary, predating its closest American and European counterparts by several years. These groundbreaking films continue to influence some of cinema's most celebrated directors, like Quentin Tarantino, Robert Rodriguez and Takashi Miike."
