June 15: Junesploitation’s topic of the day — as suggested by F This Movie— is Revenge! 

Nu xing de fu chou (New Type Revenge) AKA The Nude Body Case In Tokyo is a 1981 Taiwanese movie directed by Yang-Ming Tsai (Phoenix the Raider, The Legend of Broken Sword) and written by Chen Kuo Tai and Chen-hsiang Tai. Sure, it’s a revenge-o-matic, but it’s also a Taiwan Black Movie, so called because it takes real life and goes hard in its depiction of a woman done wrong going for blood.

Ling (Elsa Yeung) is a dance instructor who has learned that her best friend Meihua has been killed in Japan. To add more pain, Meihua’s sister Meifeng is tied up in this, forced into prostitution to pay for the cocaine she’s stolen. Ling saves her, at the cost of her eye, making her into the Frigga of this film.

This is also wildly unfocused and padded, which I loved, because it includes Ling going to watch a KISS band play in the park and attend a sumo match. How this advances the plot is unknown, but then this goes for broke by having Yakuza gangsters torture women by crucifying them upside down before covering them with ants. After all this lunacy, Ling gets all of their victims together for the eye for an eye that they need. Literally.

You will believe that sexy gymnasts can obliterate evil men. This is how it should be.
