Sex And Fury is a film about a female protagonist that seeks revenge for the death of her father against the Yakuza. It stars Reiko Ike,who delights viewers with her action scenes as well as her sex appeal. The movie presents women in roles that men usually portray in action films. Aside from action, the film also provides sex scenes to remind viewers of women's most potent weapon. Aside from Ike, Christina Lindberg is also commendable for her role as an English spy. The story may probably be a standard at present time. But given the fact that is was made in the 1970's, it could be considered exceptional considering that it was made at a time when it was a first when women were given roles that are usually portrayed by men and how realistic the plot was especially in a conservative country like Japan. I give it an excellent rating for it was revolutionary during the time of its release.

This movie can be indeed boring, even for B movie standards,if you're looking for the American kind of story telling. But what calls the attention the most is that it serves as proof that Tarentino is no genius at all. He copied A LOT, I mean, A LOT of what came to be Kill Bill 1, from this movie. The story of Lucy Liu Character's witnessing her father being killed, the fight scenes where Uma Turman battles against dozens of guys with the falling limbs and all the blood and even the set of stairs she has to climb in order to get to Lucy Liu were copied. Even the snow at the last scene. Improved, that's is true, but copied. All and all it is a movie worth watching because it can be funny, especially if you are a B movie aficionado (the horrible fake blood is just excellent). At the end when she tries to wash off the blood from her chest with snow she ends up removing a little bit o the ink from her tattoos! Really excellent. I recommend it as a major B movie.

To sum it up right away : as far as I'm concerned , the script is very lame , plot is full of highly unbelievable events , dialog is clumsy and doesn't sound convincing at all , acting is mostly bad , story is plagued with one stereotype after another , there is not enough gore , violence and perversion to justify this pathetic , unimaginative exercise in bad cinematography ... I'm not saying that everything in this movie sucks , but it's mostly garbage . That's just what I think , I hope the fans of this completely irrelevant and inferior visual wanking will not be offended because this is nothing personal . I just hated watching this pointless little snot of a movie .I love Japanese movies and cherish every opportunity to get my hands on them , especially if they're twisted . I hoped this was twisted , or at least watchable . What I got is something almost on the same level as the early Bruce Lee movies . I liked them when I was in primary school , but that passed almost 20 years ago ." School of the holy beast " is good Japanese exploitation , and same goes for " Shogun's sadism " . " Sex and fury " is so pale , unimaginative , restrained and melodramatic compared to them that it makes me sick to my stomach . It would make me sick even if I hadn't watched those movies . If you like watching naked chicks kill people so much that you can tolerate completely silly and childish story with no originality or depth whatsoever - than watch this . You'll see the main actress butt - naked , sword in hand , splattered with blood of her enemies - and not just once , but twice . Wow , what a treat . Too bad the movie doesn't consist only of these two scenes , because it would be much better that way .2 out of 10 .

From Norifumi Suzuki, director of the equally brilliant films School of the Holy Beast and Beautiful Girl Hunter, comes this visually stunning Pinky Violence gem.Set in Meiji era Tokyo, Sex and Fury features Pinky starlet Reiko Ike as Ochô Inoshika, a skilled gambler, pickpocket and swordswoman whose father was murdered when she was a young child by some Yakuza. After making a promise to a dying fellow gambler to save his sister from being forced to work in a brothel, she finds herself in Asakusa having to compete against European spy & gambler Christina (Christina Lindberg, star of Thriller: A Cruel Picture) in a card game for the safety of the gamblers virginal young sister.While in Asakusa she meets back up with her old gang of thieves and subsequently crosses paths with the ex-Yakuza now turned corrupt government officials who murdered her father and does away with them in a series of blood-soaked sword battles. There's also a subplot concerning Christina's planned espionage to start an opium war with Japan and her search for an old lover who is now the leader of a revolutionary group.This really is high class exploitation. The cinematography is simply superb, the colorful set-pieces are at times psychedelic; audacious juxtaposition is used when various scenes of rape & brutality are underscored with joyful melodies and not to mention the generous amounts of sex and violence - what more can you ask for? There are so many incredible scenes here, whether it be Reiko Ike's naked blood-splattered body lopping off limbs in the snow, the mindblowing ''torture disco'', the blasphemic S&M session in a church or even the switchblade-wielding nuns that witness it, this is must-see Japanese genre cinema. Highly recommended for fans of the Lady Snowblood, Female Convict Scorpion or Girl Boss films. 9/10
