Stray Cat Rock: Sex Hunter
The wild girl-gang cult favorite! Motorcycle madness, molotov cocktails, Seventies fashion, and the iconic Meiko Kaji strutting her stuff against fellow delinquents.
The sauciest, fashion-savviest girl gang flick ever committed to celluloid! Iconic songstress Meiko Kaji stars as the Mako, commander of the Alleycats, out for justice against her gang-leader boyfriend Baron (Tatsuya Fuji). Baron’s racial rabblerousing drives her to take any means necessary to right wrong, including Molotov cocktails. Deftly juggling stylized aesthetics and exploitation thrills with the straightforward realities of questionable social attitudes, it’s a groovy visual feast that became a cult favorite and marks a transition point in Nikkatsu’s output between the 1960s and 70s.
