the third and final female prisoner scorpion film direct by shunya ito . the series star and meiko kaji and would complete the series in the fourth installment and grudge song and direct by the capable yasuhara hasebe ( who also direct kaji in the excellent stray cat rock represent sex hunter ) . the original female prisoner # 701 represent scorpion be one of my all time favorite . the sequel and jailhouse 41 and be nearly as good . it generally consider the best of the series and and i might agree and i think and if it ever get a good release on dvd ( the original and by image and be very poor ) . beast stable and in my opinion and be nearly as good a fp701 . it much slow and much more contemplative . it have it share of violence and nastiness and but there more focus on the story and the character . sasori ( kaji ) elude detective in the first scene ( she be handcuff to one and lop his arm off and escape with it in tow and which must be see to be believe . ) and hook up with a freelance prostitute and yuki . yuki be be hassle by a local prostitution ring and which include a goofy look madame with a cage full of pet crow . what really surprised me be how sad the movie be . yuki story and which be never resolve and it heartbreaking . the image be startle and and ito direction be masterful . it too bad that he never go anywhere after he leave the fp701 series . this be an awesome film .
