since the past couple of day i be really hook on the female scorpion series and i keep hit myself over the head because i wait until now which be way too long before purchase the whole box set . beast stable be the third brilliant effort in a row and and the undeniably main trump of this series be how the writer always come up with something entirely new and different for each installment . never before and or after and have there be an exploitation series that offer so much variety when it come to story line and setting and theme and film style . the original more or less qualify a a so called woman in prison flick ( but already an atypical one ) and but you can not possibly categorize part 2 and 3 a such and since they hardly feature any footage within prison wall . and the overall tone and atmosphere keep change with each new episode a well . the first film be harsh and gritty and whereas the second be psychedelic and part three be almost mainly melodramatic . don not let this last description discourage you and however and a beast stable still feature more than enough exploitative theme and disturb footage in spite of the dramatic ambiance . the opening sequence and for example and be downright fantastic . sasori and still a fugitive from the law and literally chop her way to freedom on the subway when there no other possibility than to cut off the arm of the persistent policeman that handcuff her . her run through the city with the cut off arm dangling on hers while the credit appear on screen and accompany by the familiar theme song and be just pure and genuine exploitation gold . the story compellingly continue with our heroine desperately try to lead an anonymous life in the big city and but the poor thing simply can not escape her past or even new type of agony . sasori befriend a prostitute and though without exchange dialog and and take on a job in a sewing atelier . her own retarded brother ( . ) impregnate the prostitute and while sasori get in trouble with the local pimping and underground crime network . she cleverly prevents a thug from take advantage of her body and encounter a former enemy from prison and furiously avenge one of the prostitute when she get submit to a barbaric abortion . meanwhile and the one arm cop continue to obsessively prowl the street and look for retribution against sasori . our multi talented director shunya ito formidably criss cross all these story line to a powerful wholesome and never once lose grip on the visual aspect or ingenious filming style . beast stable feature some of the most impressive composition and ingenious camera angle you can imagine and the editing be flawless and the exterior location be effectively depress . those who know sasori character a bit be aware that the film seriously lack memorable dialog and but this always get widely compensate with meiko kaji wondrous on screen charisma and menacing grimace . there very little sleaze and apart from the aforementioned incestuous sub plot and but the brief flash of extreme violence be terrific and the twisted end be almost too brilliant for word . in fact and i think part three might just be the great ( or at least and my favorite ) one of the series so far . my only small and totally irrelevant point of criticism be regard the ridiculous sound one of the bird produce when sasori be lock up in a cage . that bird sound like a ventriloquist dummy with stomach cramp .
