Mei (Meiko Kaji) is the head of a rather insignificant girl gang - a bunch of young and sexy chicks who love to get into the occasional street fight, no more ... but then they run into a rival gang who are in league with the Seiyu clan, and the Seiyus are mean motherfuckers - but Mei and her girls are saved at the last moment by tough-as-nails biker chick Ako (Akiko Wada), a girl Mei has picked up only a few hours earlier. And Ako decides to stick around with Mei's girls, too, helping them save one of the girls (Yuka Ohashi) from being burned to life by the Seiyus, even though the odds were against them ...

Mei is in love with Michio (Koji Wada), who's a nice guy really, but has one fail, he wants to become a member of the Seiyu gang - not because he's such a badass gangster, but because of the money promised. To ensure he's accepted into the gang, he assures Seiyu sub-commander Hanada (Gogo Mutsumi) he'll convince his friend, championship boxer Kelly (Ken Sanders) to lose a fight. Kelly agrees, but at the fight, when especially Mei's girls, oblivious to the manipulation, egg him on, Kelly's pride gets the better of him and he wins after all - which leads to Hanada's men kidnapping Michio to torture and kill him. Again thanks to Ako, Mei and her girls break Michio free - but now Hanada, whose eye is cut out in the process, is really mad, and he, his local leader Katsuya (Tatsuya Fuji), and the whole gang get really angry and now they want Michio found and killed - and with each new stand-off it gets tighter for the girls ...

 

Now plotwise, and even despite carrying a strong feminist message, Stray Cat Rock: Juvenile Delinquent Boss does anything but tread new ground, girl gang films and gangster flicks as such, have been around for decades in the 1970s - but this movie is a definite document of its time, it has 1970s cool written all over it, whether it's for its rather garish fashion choices or its many psychedelic rock tunes played throughout, the typical coolness of the day or its loving depiction of then current vehicles (most of all apparent in a breathtaking chase motorbike vs buggy, that involves both vehicles going up and down multiple stairs) - everything in this movie is just exciting in a retro yet totally not old-fashioned way. Plus even though the movie might not be going especially in-depth, it's a great ride from beginning to end, with plenty of action, nastiness (though it doesn't get too explicit), and even the occasional melodramatic moment, all captured in a completely stylish way.

Totally worth a look!

 

First in a series of five movies, but these are only connected by theme and their lead actress Meiko Kaji, there are no recurring characters.
