Delinquent Girl Boss: Toyko Drifters
The second part in the series feels a bit like a quick cash in on the success of the original... although that's not to say it's a bad movie. It's quite an enjoyable film actually, if you're a genre fan that is. The main problem is that it's missing a proper storyline. Between the awesome reform school opening and stylish action finale there isn't a whole lot happening. Director Yamaguchi relies a bit too much on humour and general 'hanging out with the characters'. (wipfilms.net)

Tragedy in the Devil-Mask Village
Tarao's services are called upon to solve the mysterious death of bride-to-be, Mariko, who was found dead with an eerie mask of a devil.
A Haunted Turkish Bathhouse
A Haunted Turkish Bathhouse is 90 minutes of boobs, violence, supernatural horror that isn’t scary, funky score, occasional apocalyptic sunsets, and bloody cat attacks. It’s a fun film and never boring, but it isn’t quite as far-out as one would wish, especially when compared to the amazing Wolfguy. Consider it Yamaguchi’s House-lite, Toei Porno style.
Kanei Command Performance
During the reign of Shogun Iemitsu, a great martial arts tournament was held to determine whether or not Iemitsu was to remain in power or cede it to his uncle, Yornobu, the 10th son of Ieyasu.

This was to be the all-star samurai match of the century.
