So far, the JOYS OF TORTURE films have been very hit-or-miss with me. I've enjoyed the first film, I loved SHOGUN'S SADISM (the unofficial sequel that's not actually part of the series...), dug YAKUZA LAW: LYNCHING! and thought INFERNO was pretty weak. Seems that Ishii just can't stay predictable in this series.
As far as content - I don't really have much clue as far as this film goes, as it's in Japanese language only, and I don't speak Japanese. There's a lot of not very well done samurai-style fight scenes, and some OK nudity. There's nekkid girls and ninjas. The rest was pretty much lost on me...
Now normally, the things I mentioned above would be enough to warrant this as a grade-A piece of pinku-style sleaze, but honestly - most of it was too dull for my taste. There are a few good scenes (including a pretty hot lesbo scene with a Jap chick and a white girl who's tied up...) that make this one worth a look...but overall, it just doesn't live up to my sleaze-standards. Also, the story was too hard to follow and didn't seem all that engaging. Definitely worth checking out for pinku completists or serious fans of the JOYS OF TORTURE series...but this one lacks the strength of other, better entries...6.5/10
