Watch Sex and Fury – Furyô anego den: Inoshika Ochô (1973) Full Movie Engsub

The genre of female assassin films was especially popular in 1970s Japan, often featuring seductive killers and an abundance of both erotic and violent scenes. Sex and Fury (1973) is a standout example, starring one of Japan’s screen goddesses, Reiko Ike, as Ochô—a seductive gambler, thief, and skilled swordswoman on a bloody quest for revenge.

As mentioned, Reiko Ike is breathtakingly beautiful, exuding both sensuality and a commanding presence in the lead role of the dangerous and alluring Ochô. She often fights with her bare chest exposed, revealing intricate tattoos that add to her striking image. European adult film star Christina Lindberg plays a young Western spy, bringing a melodramatic romance subplot to the film. The supporting cast includes familiar faces from the genre, such as Yôko Mihara.

The plot of Sex and Fury follows Ochô as she hunts down the killers of her father, each identified by unique tattoos on their backs. Along the way, she crosses paths with Shonusuke, a radical extremist seeking to assassinate the powerful politician Kurokawa, and Christina, an American spy posing as a gambler. What unfolds is a brutal and visually stunning tale of vengeance, betrayal, and bloodshed.
