Junko Natsu takes the lead role in a big way in this first of a series of Sukeban movies set in a Girls' JUNIOR High School. Not to worry, Natsu was 21 when she did this, and the only nudity is in the background of the strip club of the yakuza gang (they hang out with!). 






Don't get me wrong, this movie was made to titilate, and even though wet uniforms in the shower fights or underwear in strip poker is all you get, it's done with a zeal meant to appeal. And that should be more than enough! 








Even without subtitles, it's entertaining, and has its comedic moments (the hidden microphone, the principal's mugging), though it has its boring drama near the end. 







Chieko Matsubara plays the gym teacher (she was only 4 years older than Junko) who the girls try to have gang raped by some of the yakuza goons - good mainstream Japanese fun! - and Tatsuya Fuji has a cool cameo at the end - other than that it's 84 minutes of non-PC 70's Japanese silliness!
