Female Prisoner Scorpion: 701′s  Gludge Song directed by Hasebe Yasuharu, starring Meiko Kaji, Masakazu Tamura. 1973

In this last franchise of Kaji’s Female Prisoner, It seems to be Nami lost her object to revenge, instead, it was replaced to something anti-establishment activity while helping Masakazu Tamura who is an ex-anti-establishment activist.

And, this film shows a little of her brilliancy. In the same year she starred ”History of modern chivalrous spirit” (1973) in which she plays just opening her eyes wide instead of delivering her lines as usual.

Am I too late for #womencrushwednesday ? I have a weakness for badass ladies in kimono 👘 and Kaji Meiko is definitely my all time hero! (Actually have an original movie poster from the 70s hanging next to my desk) 🖤 Who is your women crush? 😝 And do you even know which movie I’m talking about?
