Synopsis:
Deadwood, Dakota Territory, is largely the abode of men, where Indian scout Calamity Jane is as hard-riding, boastful, and handy with a gun as any; quite an overpowering personality. But the army lieutenant she favors doesn’t really appreciate her finer qualities. One of Jane’s boasts brings her to Chicago to recruit an actress for the Golden Garter stage. Arrived, the lady in question appears (at first) to be a more feminine rival for the favors of Jane’s male friends…including her friendly enemy Wild Bill Hickock.Read More »

Quote:
A trio of teenaged tarts try to earn money through shoplifting and prostitution scams and get into trouble deep. Hilarious scenes where the girls try to pick up gaijin at Osaka’s World Expo 70. A colorful kaleidoscope of nudity, violence, drama, yakuza machinations and music, with cameos by transvestite (transsexual?) singer/actor Ikehata Shinnosuke (aka “Peter”, see here and there), who still acts today and did voiceover for Death Note: The Last Name (!?) and Wada “Akko” Akiko who beats up yakuza thugs and croons the film’s theme song.Read More »

Millie Perkins is a disturbed young woman plagued by disturbing visions. She hates men and castrates them because she was the victim of incest during her childhood. “The Witch Who Came from the Sea” is a strange and moody exploitation flick with dream-like atmosphere and strong symbolism. Millie castrates two popular football players in fantastically oneiric sequence of sexual violence. The film is slow-moving and deeply unpleasant character study of woman’s torment.Read More »
