Editorial Reviews

In the final episode of the LEGENDS OF THE POISONOUS SEDUCTRESS series, Junko Miyazono appears one final time as beautiful swordswoman Okatsu the Avenger, but this time seeking Judayu, a corrupt merchant responsible for the death of her parents. Betrayed by her fiancé, Okatsu finds herself aided in her quest by a handsome stranger (yakuza film star Tatsuo Umemiya) who happens to be as handy with a sword as she is! What is the reason for his kindness, and will Okatsu be able to prevail against Judayu, now a powerful businessman with scores of allies in high places? Whatever the end may be, the restless spirits of her murdered parents drive OKATSU THE FUGITIVE along her crimson-colored road of vengeance. Master filmmaker Nobuo Nakagawa (Jigoku, Snake Woman s Curse) brings audiences the stunning end of the trilogy that inspired countless imitators among Toei s Pinky Violence films of the 1970s.

Be sure to collect the other two volumes in the LEGENDS OF THE POISONOUS SEDUCTRESS series FEMALE DEMON OHYAKU and QUICK-DRAW OKATSU for more action-packed female swordplay excitement!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Chambara Samurai Film!, February 3, 2008

This review is from: Legends Of The Poisonous Seductress #3: Okatsu the Fugitive (DVD)

This is a great samurai (chambara/jidai-geki) film, filled with loads of swordplay, villainy, and heroism. I'm quite confused as to why the film distributors labeled this film as "pinky violence." Those seeking "pinky violence" will be quite disappointed, as this film is no more "pinky violence" than any of a score of regular samurai films.

The hero of this film is a samurai swordswoman on the path of revenge to avenge the death of her parents by corrupt clan members. Miyazono Junko is fabulous as the expert swordswoman O-Katsu. After her parents' torture and deaths, she wanders the countryside seeking vengeance and, on the way, uses her flashing sword to save helpless people from various villains. Great film, especially for those (such as myself) who are tired from the weeping, wafting, helpless females that infect too many films all over the world. O-Katsu provides an example of a strong woman who can take care of herself as she seeks righteousness.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not again!, August 25, 2010

This review is from: Legends Of The Poisonous Seductress #3: Okatsu the Fugitive (DVD)

I happened to buy all three of the Okatsy movies, partially based on positive reviews, and the third one definitely was unnecessary to make or watch. Okatsu gets raped (again), and manages to lose another set of parents (again), which, in Oscar Wilde's words, smacks of carelessness, and we get to see more of Junko Miyazono's poorly choreographed sword play.
The costumes are surprisingly good, the make-up has the usual shortcomings for Japanese movies of the period. If it is porn you are after, there is nothing to see. If you want to see good swordplay, get a movie with Toshiro Mifune, but this is just Japanese trash, just like the rest of the pinky violence series.

5.0 out of 5 stars My Review Of Okatsu The Fugitive, February 27, 2009

This review is from: Legends Of The Poisonous Seductress #3: Okatsu the Fugitive (DVD)

Okatsu The Fugitive is the final chapter of the Leagends Of ThePoisonous Seductress trilogy. Okatsu now finds herself a wanted woman from various samurai clans. Along the way, she befriends a trusting swordsman and together, they fought and slew Okatsu's enemies. I recommend the entire three-part DVD set to any fan of classic Japanese bad-girl films.
