Triple bill of Japanese thrillers that inspired Quentin Tarantino's 'Kill Bill'. In 'Female Prisoner #701 - Scorpion' (1972), Matsu (Meiko Kaji - whose singing talents featured on the 'Kill Bill' soundtrack), known as 'Scorpion', lands in prison thanks to the evil manipulations of an ex-boyfriend. Through her suffering at the hands of the jailers and other prisoners, director Shunya Ito creates a portrait of a woman who is full of strength, beauty and an honour which outshines her peers and the cage within which she's contained. In 'Female Prisoner #701 - Scorpion: Jailhouse 41' (1972), the Scorpion (Kaji) exacts a grim revenge on the male wardens at the prison. No male appendage is secure as she stalks the wings in a razor-frenzy. One of Tarantino's favourite films, and thought to be the ultimate statement of the genre. Long deleted, the title fetched astronomical sums prior to re-release, so great is its cult appeal. Finally, in 'Female Prisoner #701 - Scorpion: Beast Stable' (1973), the Scorpion (Kaji) returns, now escaped from the very authority that would grind her down. With one severed arm dangling from one handcuffed wrist, she takes refuge in the home of a kindred soul - a latchkey woman in want of all the world's sympathy - forced into a back-alley living for the sake of supporting her retarded brother. It's not long until old enemies return, new adversaries are inaugurated and this waking nightmare gives way to a new dawn.
