After being cruelly set up by a crooked detective named Sugimi, whom she loved, Nami Matsushima (aka Matsu the Scorpion) is sentenced to do hard time in a women's prison, which is run by sadistic and horny male guards. There are 700 other prisoners, making Matsu number 701. Her crime was making a failed attempt to stab Sugimi on the steps of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Headquarters because he used her to win favor with the Yakuza. While in prison she meets inmates like Yuki Kida who was committed for fraud and theft, Otsuka, jailed for burglary and extortion, and Katagiri who has been impounded for arson and illegally disposing of a body. ~~ Adapted from the manga "Joshuu Sasori" (女囚さそり) by Shinohara Tooru (篠原とおる).

Good series, bad first movie

Everything was an excuse to someone rip the girl's clothes off.

If you ignore this fact (which is 90% of the content itself) you are left with some really really poor directing. I know it's the 70s, and it's low budget. BUT CAN YOU PLEASE FOR THE SAKE OF ART DIRECT A GOOD SCENE AS WELL?? christ, in all the violence scenes people were punching the air!! You know, you can hit someone for real, it's not gonna kill themmm lmao, oh my god, I felt like the actors were afraid of kill each other with a god damn slap. Why can't you do some camera tricks to make the action look real?

Anyway, I won't touch the flaws in this movie (I only scratched the surface, don't wanna go there). It's a decent prison movie if you ignore everything else, also, unfortunately this first entry is actually necessary in order to understand Sasori's backstory and stuff... it's a pretty solid series in general, and the other movies are better (at least the second and the third, which are my personal favorites).
