Clevercell Very disappointing...

VeteranLight I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

Intcatinfo A Masterpiece!

Cooktopi The acting in this movie is really good.

Leofwine_draca #701'S GRUDGE SONG is the fourth and least of the FEMALE PRISONER SCORPION series, an average film in every respect. The problem with these movies is the lack of money that went into their making. The director of the previous three films didn't return, leaving the reliably enthralling Meiko Kaji the only real reason to tune in. This time around, Sasori is on the run from a group of new dedicated cops, and she ends up being helped by a vengeful guy who works at a strip joint and has his own vendetta against the police. This film is rather small in scale and fits in a few prison flick cliches and violent moments, but the direction lacks the same style as in the previous outings and there's a general seen-it-all-before feel.

HumanoidOfFlesh After narrowly escaping brutal Detective Kodama Sasori hides out in a seedy strip joint in the back streets of Tokyo.There she encounters Kudo who was humiliated and tortured by Kodama and his cronies years ago.The two strike a bond and soon set out to exact Kudo's long dreamt-about justice against detective Kodama.But their plan is not going to end happily."Female Convict Scorpion Grudge Song" is filled with sadness and unrelenting nihilism.Yasuharu Hasebe,the creator of violent pink sub-genre directs with a sure hand and Mejko Kaji is fantastic as a relentless Sasori.She even kills a cop with a white rose.There is also sleazy gang-rape scene and plenty of nudity.If you enjoyed previous installments of "Scorpion" pinky violence series give this one a look.8 out of 10.

EVOL666 After the ending of BEAST STABLE - there really wasn't a whole lot of room left for a fourth entry in the FEMALE PRISONER: SCORPION film story-wise, but I guess someone thought there was some money to be made and squeezed this one out. Not a bad entry - a little duller than some of the others - but still worth a look to the series fan...Yet again our favorite jail-breaking, little-speaking delinquent is on the run. The cops find her at a wedding, but of course she escapes their clutches yet again. Injured from her run-in, she is discovered by a strip-club worker who takes her in and harbors her from the cops. The two form a sort of alliance - but is this guy to be trusted, or will he also let her down in the end? That is the question...Another pretty solid entry in the series - GRUDGE SONG is neither extremely notable, nor is it "bad" in any way. Being a pretty big fan of pinky-style material - I can honestly say that I haven't seen one yet that I didn't enjoy on some level. GRUDGE SONG did drag in parts but overall it is still solid with a decent storyline. Definitely recommended if you've seen and liked the other FEMALE PRISONER films...7.5/10

zenamako Yasuharu Hasebe (Black Tight Killers) took over for director Shunya Ito for this, the last Female Convict Scorpion picture starring Meiko Kaji (Lady Snowblood). The film opens with Nami Matsushima (a.k.a. Matsu, a.k.a. Scorpion) once again on the lam. The police track her down at a wedding, but she manages to escape. Badly injured, she is saved by a man who works in a strip joint and holds a grudge against the police for torturing him. Can the Scorpion trust a man again? Should she?One of the reasons Kaji decided to stop doing the Scorpion pictures is that Toei kept slashing the budget with each new installment. This film is smaller in scale and more straightforward than the first three chapters. It is easily the least of the four Scorpion films featuring Meiko Kaji; however, it is still engrossing whenever she is on the screen.
