Found on YouTube, this trailer for a 1970s female yakuzasploitation film: live action sequences interspersed with beautifully stylized line drawings. Warning: contains exposed boobs, a "heinous crotch-gouge" episode, and hot babes with swords (all in less than 30 seconds!)

Update: Whups, looks like this was blogged a couple of days ago by Violet Blue here on tinynibbles, and also over at Fleshbot. Interesting background at both.

Reader comment: Matt says,

Female Yakuza Tale is also the name of the full movie, I found it on Amazon here: Link. Apparently it's the followup to "Sex and Fury" which is also linked to off of that page.

Ocho is accidentally captured by a drug trafficking cartel who use Chinese women to smuggle drugs into Japan by hiding it in their vaginas. She is tortured, and manages to escape, fighting both the male yakuzas and a gang of female thieves.

Reader comment: BoingBoing pal Coop sez,

I've got both of those films on DVD, and they're pretty great. Tarantino must like 'em too, as the climactic sword fight in the snow from Kill Bill pt. I (as well as some other cool bits) is lifted from these.

A torrent for "Female Yakuza Tale" was uploaded to Secret Cinema on Jan. 5th, and there are currently 3 seeders and 6 leechers in the swarm.
