True Story of a Woman in Jail: Continues (1975)
Created By: Kôyû Ohara
Where to get it: Synapse
In this shocking sequel to TRUE STORY OF A WOMAN IN JAIL: SEX HELL, Mayumi (the tough inmate from the first film) emerges from solitary confinement to find an all-new gang of bullies picking on a meek, young female prisoner. Mayumi is now a much harder soul who takes no attitude from anyone, and she turns savage when the poor girl is enslaved by Yakuza! No one is safe as Mayumi takes down the entire jail in a sudden act of violent carnage.
So we are back behind bars with these rowdy Asian women! Continuing the story of the previous film, you will get more or less what we got with the original film. Of course that is good in a lot of ways. You see naughty women doing some very naughty things to each other and with other people. But the film does also pack a plot that takes us from inside the prison to the outside world and back. If you did dig the original then I see no reason why you won’t like this one, even if I find it slightly under the original in plot ranking.
So the story rolls along and we slowly but surely see that even the people running the prison as well as the people outside it may be worse than the girls in it. This is a time honored tradition with these types of movies and it’s kept intact here. Basically, this is something you’ll dig if you are into the whole women prison style films. And in a totally none racist way, this one is made a lot more fun if you have a thing for Asian women. I think most of us that like women do, so I feel this will be a fun watch for most. Plus, Its cool to finally see how this story wraps up.
