Reiko Ike who was discovered by the director of this movie Norifumi Suzuki, and Kanji Amao was a popular star in Toei's Poruno (porn) movies of the '70s. She was only 16 when she was discovered while she was part timing as a nude model, and must say that she's was an early bloomer. Poruno movies were invention of the afore mentioned producer Kanji Amao, and was named to differentiate it from the Pinku (pink) movies that only featured nudity of the time. Ike and her colleague Miki Sugimoto were the two top stars for Toei Movie Studio in the '70s,
19 year old (if you could believe that) Ike plays the lead role of Ocho who's out to revenge the death of her father. Her father was a detective, and had three hanafuda (Japanese equivalent of deck of cards) in his hands when he was killed, indicating who the three culprits are. Ocho goes to find the three culprits to avenge her father's death.
Swedish centerfold, and entrepreneur Christina Lindberg (Who was also a Penthouse pet for June 1970 issue under the name of Britt Lindberg) also appears in this movie.
Director Norifumi Suzuki made some of the most entertaining and creative movies of the '70s (Like the School of Holy Beast). He's one of my most favorite Japanese movie director.
This has interesting story by director Suzuko, and excellent performance by Ike. But for a movie that's made by them, this is about average in quality. I'm still in awe of Ike's presence in this movie.
