Tokyo Grindhouse Volume One: Pinky Violence Bad Girl Cinema Paperback – July 31, 2012

low resolution graphics. if you want to buy a real thing, check the HOTWAX! 和モ series from Japan. it's worth digging.

I'm not sure in which world this is considered a book. It's a magazine. Of the 85 pages, it only has about 12 pages of text that share the page with photos, so in essence you're getting a magazine with not-so-great resolution photos that you could easily find on the Internet, and in terms of word count, about 5 pages worth of actual text, which makes the Amazon summary of the author giving an "extensive introductory history" a rather spurious claim. On the other hand, there's not much else out there in terms of availability of Pinku material, so if you're really hankering to possess anything from this genre, you might spring for it. Knowing what I know now, though, I wouldn't have purchased it. This should be billed as a photo magazine. It's not a book.

Very slim (84 pages) volume devoted to the 'delinquent girls' cycle of Japanese exploitation films usually made by Toei studios from roughly 1970 to 1976 and usually starring either Reiko Ike or Miki Sugimoto or both though Meiko Kaji and Reiko Ushida did also appear in a run of these movies. With banner titles 'Girl Boss', 'Delinquent Girl Boss' 'Female Prisoner Scorpion' these movies were a heady mixture of violence and sex and very often ran as a series of movies although the stories were not like a serial and run consecutively. Book contains a brief history of this brand of exploitation movie and lots of very nice stills and rare publicity shots all in glorious colour. Bring on volume 2.

Anche se con qualche giorno di ritardo, il libro è arrivato correttamente a casa senza alcun problema.prodotto perfetto. Servizio molto buono!

Un libro imprescindible para los fans del cine japonés.Mucha fotografía y poco testo, pero un buen recorrido por el género.Completamente a todo color.

Passage en revue succin de la vague pinku-eiga; les principaux titres sont abordés même s'il en manque beaucoup.Diverses série disposent d'une belle iconographie, surtout les affiches originales (girl boss; stray cat rock ; terrifying girl classroom ; female scorpion (seulement deux des films sont présentés)et quelques autres films . Plus quelques photos aléatoirement sélectionnées et pas toute de très bonne qualité. Un ouvrage tout de même intéressante vue le peu de documentation accessible sur le sujet à un public occidental mais qui vous laissera certainement un peu sur votre faim. A quand un table-book complet doté d'un riche corpus photographique?
