The Stray Cats, an all-female juvenile delinquent gang led by Mako (Meiko Kaji) are closely linked to the Eagles, a gang of thugs led by the businessman-like Baron (Tatsuya Fuji). But then one of the Eagles, Susumu (Jiro Okazaki) started complaining when his girl Mari leaves him for what he calls a halfbreed, and soon the Eagles start beating up everybody who isn't 100 % Japanese.

When Kazuma (Rikiya Yasuoka), a drifter Mako has fallen for, takes the side of the halfbreeds (since he is not exactly purebred himself), Mako begins to doubt where her allegiances lie. But when Baron, who is secretly in love with Mako, finds out that Kazuma is behind Mako's doubts in his methods, he has him brutally beaten up. Kazuma however is not one do budge that easily, and he has the nerve to ask Baron for a favour - to help him find Megumi, his sister of whom he knows nothing but her name and age.

Baron even seems to agree to this, seemingly to do Mako a favour, and he even invites Mako and the Stray Cats to a party, but in reality, his plans are far more sinister, as he wants to get back on Mako after she favoured Kazuma over him ... After he has lured Mako away from the party, he has the other Stray Cats gangraped, with them of course blaming Mako, the only one not present at the event, for having sold them out.

Upon learning this, Mako gets back at the participants of the gangrape with some Molotov cocktails, but is effectively expelled from her gang.

She manages however to find Megumi (Yuki Arikawa), Kazuma's sister, for him and tries to reunite them - at first with little success. However, soon afterwards Kazuma is the prey in a manhunt of the Eagles - who want to get back at Mako for the Molotov cocktails -, and he soon gets brutally beaten up again, and when soon afterwards Megumi tries to persuade the Eagles to let her brother off easily, she is brutally gangraped. When Kazuma finds her in this state, He knows he has to avenge her - and Mako agrees to help him even ... even though they both know the chances for getting out of this alive are slim at best

 

Third in the 5-part Stray Cat Rock series, a series that, despite having the same lead actresses throughout, is not linked in any way narratively (which is not a rarity in Japanese movie series). This one was shot back to back with the second in the series, Naraneko Rokku: Wairudu Jumbo/Stray Cat Rock: Wild Jumbo.

As a movie, Stray Cat Rock: Sex Hunter tries to be at the same time hip and stylish, and socially engaging, however the good intentions sometimes fall short of the style-requirements - but while that doesn't make it the best of thesis movies, it's a great piece of action/girl gang cinema that runs on action and violence almost non-stop, carried by cool attitudes, and even though characters and story are a bit clichéed at times, they fit the movie as a whole rather perfectly, and the whole thing looks just really great.
