Only for completists as only 2 of 4 movies are any good
Meiko Kaji played a number of famous exploitation roles in 1970s Japanese cinema. There was the Stray Cat Rock series about a girl gang. Lady Snowblood a sword wielding woman out for revenge, and Matsu in the Scorpion series. This collection has all four of the movie in that series #701: Scorpion, Jailhouse 41, Beast Stable, and Grudge Song. She plays Matsu a prisoner in a woman’s prison who constantly rebels and attempts to escape. That’s because the prison is run by sadistic, abusive perverts, and most of the other prisoners resent her. The movies have a mix of action and sex. The problem was the series got drawn out too long and only the first two releases are really any good.<br /><br />Female Prisoner #701: Scorpion starts off by showing her bad streak with an escape at the start and how she ended up in prison being set up by a cop. There was some real production value put into it by director Shunya Ito. For instance, when Matsu remembers her time with the policeman it appears as a blue dream in the upper part of the screen. Then when she realizes her fate her hair is spread out with a lighted background that shines bright read to symbolize her anger. Unfortunately it has probably the weakest story of them all. Matsu is a rebel so the guards try to break her over and over again, and she’s resented by many of her fellow prisoners as well leading to plenty of conflicts. That means girl fights, beatings, torture, nudity, etc. The ending redeems a lot of the problems with the film and establishes Matsu as a real bad ass.<br /><br />Second in the series was Jailhouse 41 which focused upon an escape attempt by Matsu and some of her fellow prisoners. It has much of the same style as the original. In the opening for example the warden comes into Matsu’s cell where’s she’s chained on the floor to gloat at her situation. There’s a close up of Matsu’s face to show her utter contempt for the man with the man standing tall over her to symbolize the power he had over her. There’s also a supernatural element as the escaped prisoners run into a spirit which takes each woman through their crime. Also like the first movie Matsu doesn’t really get to show her stuff until the very end and puts in a great performance. This one moves beyond just pure exploitation like the first. The prisoners and their journey is the focus so it’s really a women’s story about them trying to deal with their past and hoping that will free them.<br /><br />In Beast Stable Matsu is finally out of prison but she’s a wanted woman.<br /><br />The movie has an amazing start as two policeman see her on the subway and try to arrest her but she stabs one and then cuts off the arm of the other after he tries to handcuff her. The opening credits have her running through the streets with a man’s severed arm shackled to her. Unfortunately that is the best part of the movie and it only lasts for about 10 minutes.<br /><br />The plot itself is bizarre. Matsu takes up with a woman named Yuki who is a prostitute, has an incestuous relationship with her brain damaged brother and his pregnant with his baby. This makes it decidedly different from the first two in the series that centered around prison life with sadistic and perverted guards and vicious prisoners. Who foe is this time turns out to be the local Yakuza (gangsters). In the process they throw in the usual perverted sex scenes since this is exploitation.<br /><br />The problem is nothing really happens. Things just meander along. That might make Beast Stable the worse in the series.<br /><br />Finally there’s 701’s Grudge Song. Again, the writers struggled with the plot like the previous movie Beast Stable. Taking the story outside of prison seemed to confuse the company as to what to do with the character. This time Matsu is on the run from the police and a man takes her in and helps her. That’s because he was tortured by the cops and hates them as much as Matsu.<br /><br />The problem is 60% of the movie is Matsu and the man sitting in rooms together looking at each other. It’s absolutely boring. Eventually, Matsu gets caught and is sent back to prison but it’s only marginally better.<br /><br />Overall, that means this collection is a very mixed bag. The first two films are great, the third is a dud, and the fourth is somewhere in the middle. Unless you’re a completist then buying this set isn’t necessary.<br />C
