The Fuma Clan have stumbled upon an explosive secret involving The Shogun of Japan and his son that may tear Japan apart but before they can move on the information, the treacherous Hattori Hanzo and his Iga Clan ninja descend upon Fuma village leaving death and destruction in their wake.
The last living Fuma Clan member and the Clan leader’s daughter must now work together to infiltrate the Iga Clan in order to collect a sample of Hanzo’s blood, establish a damning connection between The Shogun’s son and Hanzo and avenge their fallen comrades.
Lovers will die, plans will be formulated and the safety of a nation may very well rest upon the shoulders (and vagina) of the last of the Iga Clan! The Venus Fly Trap versus Honeypot Hell, only one deadly form of Ninja magic will prevail!
There’s no sense trying to convince those of you that have already made up your minds about this production that it’s somehow “fun,” pink eiga is pretty much what it looks and sounds like. It’s low budget, shot-on-video softcore porn and despite all of its many shortcomings (there are sometimes quite a few), I cannot get enough of it. I suppose if you’re interested in a comparison, pink eiga is roughly the equivalent of those wacky, shitty sex spoofs released by Seduction Cinema, like Lord of The G-Strings, Play-Mate of the Apes and SSI: Sex Squad Investigation.
I won’t waste this review blabbering on about the plot, character arcs or subtext, this is softcore porn with ninja, end of story. I went into this with absolutely no expectations and ended up mildly impressed anyhow. The Asian women were immensely beautiful, there were breasts a’plenty and by golly there were ninja! Ninja! As if that weren’t enough, director Hiroyuki Kawasaki (Lady Ninja Kasumi Vol.1) throws in an homage to the historical samurai Hattori Hanzo, or Sonny Chiba depending on whether you’re a history buff or a cult cinema geek.
Being a huge fan of pink eiga, I can honestly say the simulated and carefully shot sex sequences were quite pleasing to my sleazy American eyes. Could it have used a bit more violence perhaps? Well, damn it all, what couldn’t? Did the story make any sense? Some of it sure, I did have one issue with it but this isn’t Fellini, right? It was well-produced, locations were adequate, costumes were fantastic, there was no atrocious comedy and the finale was mind-blowingly sexy and cool.
If you enjoy Japanese pink films and exploitation, why not grab you a copy of Pink Eiga’s Ninja Pussy Cat, this is the one that started the whole erotic ninja craze and it’s not half bad. The extras on this disc include informative interviews with seasoned pink actress Yôko Satomi and director Hiroyuki Kawasaki, a photo gallery, trailers, original artwork and cast & crew bios. Pink Eiga (the company) have done a great job with this release.
I can’t recommend this to just anybody, especially if you have an aversion to hot Asian tail, but if you’re okay with a little softcore and the more magical the ninja the better…give it a shot.
