Girl Boss Guerilla Review

Posted by Josh Samford On April - 4 - 2010
Hey everybody! I’m a little late updating the site, the job has been getting in the way but I didn’t forget about you! Today we have a review for the Pinky Violence classic Girl Boss Guerilla. Although immediately upon watching, I felt kind of wishy-washy about it but after really going over it again I found a lot more to enjoy. This one could use two watches!

The Plot: The Red Helmet Gang is a all female biker gang from Shinjuku, lead by the tough yet beautiful Sachiko (Miki Sugimoto). When the group hits the road and lands in Kyoto, they start their hustling campaign. Their scams start off small but they quickly garner the attention of another all female gang in the territory, the Kyogoku group. After Sachiko dispatches of their girl boss, it turns out that this gang isn’t as respectable as the Red Helmet Gang and they almost turn our girls into pin-cushions. Fortunately for the Red Helmet Gang, Rika (Reiko Ike) the former boss intervenes and acknowledges Sachiko as the new boss of the group. Rika and Sachiko begin a friendship that will carry them to great success, but Rika’s brother who is a yakuza may stand in the way of their riches. This Yakuza gang wants the girls to slack off and leave the territory to them, but the Red Helmet Gang won’t go without a fight. Meanwhile, Sachiko is finding love in the form of a young boxer who knows how to treat a woman. So while the group is committing acts of blackmail and threatening violence, the Red Helmet Gang will have to keep the Yakuza off of their back, Sachiko will have to look after her man and Rika will have to confront her very own brother and force him to pick sides between blood and the gang.

    Listened to the podcast and heard you reviewed this and rushed on over. This sounds like a great film I need to watch this weekend. Anything involving Yakuza I’m all over it.

    Hey man! Thanks for listening to the podcast and thanks for checking out the site! Yeah, Girl Boss Guerilla is a pretty wild one. I’m a fan of the Pinky Violence genre, even though I haven’t dominated it just yet. Just going through as many of them as I possibly can these days!
