Sasori: Joshuu 701-gô

A friend of mine rented this in hopes that it would be a lesbian kung fu exploitation piece. We were not disappointed! (Except for the kung fu part) Nami witnessed her younger sister Yumi kidnapped as a child, something that would haunt her for the rest of her life, until as fate would have it, her murderer turns up as a patient at the hospital she works. She kills him with a scalpel and is shipped off to a woman's prison to do ten years hard labor. What follows is an unintentionally hilarious film that is constantly entertaining due to some bad fight sequences, gratuitous nudity, and some really funny lines. Take for example, what Nami says to her sister's murderer at the beginning of the film.

Nami: You killed her!

Murderer: So what? What you gonna do?

Nami: I'll call the police!

Murderer: Unfortunately, the statute of limitations on that case ran

out yesterday.

That had me laughing for about five minutes straight. The film is bloody, poorly scored, and absolutely hilarious. There is also a sequel but it's convoluted and boring and just has none of the things that make Scorpion so much fun to make fun of. If
