The visually avant-garde Female Prisoner Scorpion: Jailhouse 41 sees director Shunya Ito and star Meiko Kaji re-unite as Nami and six other female convicts escape prison once more. The Gothic horror-inspired Beast Stable finds Nami branded public enemy #1 and on the run. She soon finds refuge with a sympathetic prostitute, but runs afoul of a local gang. The final film in the series, #701’s Grudge Song (from director Yasuharu Hasebe, Retaliation, Massacre Gun), shows a gentler side of Nami as she falls in with Kudo, an ex-radical suffering from physical and psychological trauma caused by police torture.\u003cbr\u003e\nSpiritual kin to Ms. 45, Coffy and The Bride Wore Black, Female Prisoner Scorpion is the pinnacle of early 1970s exploitation cinema from Japanese grindhouse studio Toei, and one of the greatest female revenge sagas ever told.\u003cbr\u003e\nSPECIAL EDITION CONTENTS\u003cbr\u003e\nBrand new 2K restorations of all four films in the series presented on High Definition Blu-ray (1080p)\u003cbr\u003e\nOriginal uncompressed PCM mono audio for all films\u003cbr\u003e\nOptional English subtitles for all films\u003cbr\u003e\nReversible sleeves for all films featuring original and newly commissioned artwork by Ian MacEwan\u003cbr\u003e\nFEMALE PRISONER #701: SCORPION\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nNewly filmed appreciation by filmmaker Gareth Evans (The Raid)\u003cbr\u003e\nShunya Ito: Birth of an Outlaw, an archive interview with the director\u003cbr\u003e\nScorpion Old and New, a new interview with assistant director Yutaka Kohira\u003cbr\u003e\nTheatrical Trailers for all four films in the series\u003cbr\u003e\nFEMALE PRISONER SCORPION: JAILHOUSE 41\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nNewly filmed appreciation by critic Kier-La Janisse\u003cbr\u003e\nJapanese cinema critic Jasper Sharp examines the career of Shunya Ito\u003cbr\u003e\nDesigning Scorpion, a new interview with production designer Tadayuki Kuwana\u003cbr\u003e\nOriginal Theatrical Trailer and Teaser\u003cbr\u003e\nFEMALE PRISONER SCORPION: BEAST STABLE\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nNewly filmed appreciation by critic Kat Ellinger\u003cbr\u003e\nShunya Ito: Directing Meiko Kaji, an archive interview with the director\u003cbr\u003e\nUnchained Melody, a new visual essay by Tom Mes on the career of Meiko Kaji\u003cbr\u003e\nOriginal Theatrical Trailer and Teaser\u003cbr\u003e\nFEMALE PRISONER SCORPION: #701’S GRUDGE SONG\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nNewly filmed appreciation by filmmaker Kazuyoshi Kumakiri (Kichiku: Banquet of the Beasts)\u003cbr\u003e\nYasuharu Hasebe: Finishing the Series, an archive interview with the director\u003cbr\u003e\nJapanese cinema critic Jasper Sharp examines the career of Yasuharu Hasebe\u003cbr\u003e\nThey Call Her Scorpion, a new visual essay by Tom Mes on the film series\u003cbr\u003e\nOriginal Theatrical Trailer\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 0760137301981\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePackage Dimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e 6.8 x 5.4 x 2.1 inches\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English, Japanese\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Brand New","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50714240909398,"sku":"B07YMF29CJ","price":46.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0720\/7433\/0198\/files\/81BaarEOCSL.jpg?v=1792303778","url":"https:\/\/duanes-world-2.myshopify.com\/products\/female-prisoner-scorpion-the-complete-collection","provider":"Duane's World","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
