JB-068 literally starts off with a bang and ends with a whimper. This is not your typical Attackers film, even for a Jabaku title. But it's thoroughly enjoyable if you like offbeat tortures. And it's a must-see for animal lovers.

(I will take a stab at what the plot is all about. I could be wrong, so I apologize if that is the case.)

The story revolves around Mayura Hoshitsuki, an older-looking JAV actress, but still quite attractive, who makes the big mistake of pissing off her husband, a heavy-set guy who looks like he's wearing a newspaper for a shirt. She snoops around, finds his will and learns that he is giving everything to his younger brother.

Mayura is quite displeased, so she kills hubby's dog and buries it in a shallow grave in her yard. Unfortunately for her, hubby's younger brother sees her dirty work. And more unfortunate for her is that the brother is Randa Mai.

In the house, hubby and Randa demand Mayura explain what happened to the dog. She says she has no idea. After a brief struggle, Mayura, wearing a silky white robe with flower pattern, is tied face down, arms behind her back, on a couch. Randa applies a nose hook as Mayura pleads her innocence and stereotypical evil Japanese laughter is heard in the background.

Randa forces Mayura to smoke his cigarette through her stretched-open nostrils. They pull up her robe to reveal a white T-back and whip her ass. Randa then interrogates her while slapping her face. Tears flow down her cheeks, yet she still says she doesn't know anything.

Since Mayura won't talk, they might as well gag her. Her mouth is stuffed with a yellow whiffle ballgag. The bad guys take out two small devices the size of a thumb that create electrical charges. They must pack some kind of punch because Mayura screams convincingly through the gag as she is shocked on her face, ears and ass.

And now the scene you've all heard about:

Randa pulls a table in front of Mayura's face, which is resting on the arm of the couch. He inserts a firecracker in one of the holes in the ballgag and lights the 4-foot-long fuse that extends to the table. Hubby holds her head so she is forced to watch in terror as the fuse gets shorter and shorter. As the villains cheer, the fire gets closer. Her screams get louder. And then ... BANG! She pants out smoke through the holes, and tries to spit out the ball.

This is one of those scenes that you never really forget. Mayura was probably genuinely terrified. I mean, can they actually rehearse this stuff?

Mayura next finds herself tied up on a triangular wooden horse, but still wearing that robe. She again denies everything so Randa whips her. He exposes her white panties straddling the horse, ties her legs down to put extra pressure on her pussy, fingers her a bit, and then rocks the contraption. Then he whips her as she screams.

On her lovely nipple, he hangs a hook connected by fishing line to a rock.

Still won't confess, huh? Randa cleave gags her with one of those polka-dot cloths that seem to be popular in Japanese films. He then shows her a 5-inch black millipede on a white stick. He puts one end of the stick at her pussy (still in panties) and allows the millipede at the other end of the stick to slowly crawl toward its goal. I read somewhere that millipedes prefer moist, fertile habitats, so what better place than a bound Japanese woman's muff?

This may sound strange, but there are some real good close-ups of the millipede, especially with Mayura's screams in the background. In fact, she screams so much that her gag comes out.

When the millipede is about an inch from the promised land, it actually lifts up its head, as if in triumph, and then looks about. This awesome scene ends with a close-up of Mayura's face, tear-streaked, snot dripping down, and screaming as Randa shouts words of encouragement to the millipede. I believe it's implied that the millipede entered Mayura.

Randa wastes no time showing Mayura what's next in store. She's tied down on her back on a table with her wrists and ankles secured to the table's legs. She's still in the robe and panties, but her tits are fully exposed.

Randa has a big yellow snake (I'm not talking about his dick) that he sets on her body. The thing is at least 6 feet long and resembles an Albino Burmese python. He allows it to slither over Mayura and even through her panties. The snake doesn't seem to want any part of her, so Randa keeps putting it back on her, including over her face. After more of the snake charm offensive, Mayura finally admits between screams and sobs that she's the one who killed the dog.

The dog-less hubby is the tormentor in the next scene. Mayura is tied in rope to a leather chair, arms behind her back, tits bound and in her panties. She apologizes repeatedly to him, but he obviously is not in the forgiving mood.

He shows her a tarantula in a plastic box. Laughing, he picks up the spider with tongs, puts it close her face and slowly teases her with the creature. This is quite an intense scene, especially if spiders creep you out, like they do to me.

The tarantula's legs touch Mayura's quivering body, but it doesn't seem to want to leave the tongs. Finally, hubby shakes the tongs and the tarantula lands on the hemp rope around her tits. Mayura struggles trying not to look at the hairy critter as it just sits there a few inches from her mouth.

Hubby gives it a few prods and it starts to walk slowly toward ... you guessed it ... her moist pussy. Hubby lifts up her panties, and as the tarantula reaches her pubes, hubby laughs and Mayura screams.

She ends up being left in that position with the spider on her panties.

Next, it's double-team action again for Mayura. She's totally naked, tied AOH. Hubby and Randa rub baby powder all over her body until she's a fine shade of porcelain white.

Randa applies a few lashes as the dust flies off, giving her skin a nice contrast of red and white. Randa fingers her pussy, rubs her juice on her tits, and whips her some more.

At this point, Mayura is still trying to say sorry. Hubby semi-mummifies her with brown tape. They yank off the tape so that she ends up spinning around rapidly in a rather amusing scene. Then they have a race to see who can pull the tape off her legs the quickest.

What follows is standard Attackers' fare.

After some whipping of Mayura suspended upside down, Randa lets her down so she's on her back, but with her legs still up in the air. He pulls out three red candles and they give her the wax treatment on her chest, legs, ass and back.

They let her down and Randa forces her to stick out her ass. He checks it, perhaps looking for his millipede, and applies even more wax.

After a further lashing and waxing, Randa ties a rope around her neck so that they can treat her like a dog on a leash. Her body is visibly shaking. Randa forces her to stick out her tongue and he drops candle wax on it. And to cement the humiliation, he orders her to bark like a dog. (The Attackers' version of Deliverance?) She refuses, so he coats her with more wax.

The movie ends with Mayura alone and naked on all fours in the room, whimpering like a puppy. I believe the point of the ending is that she has become hubby's new pet dog.

JB-068 works on a number levels for me, despite the lack of rape and torture with dildos and vibrators.

As always for an Attackers movie, the production values are excellent. Mayura Hoshitsuki is an attractive and talented actress. Randa and the guy who plays the older husband are also quite good as the villains.

But the selling point is obviously the way they tortured/ interrogated her. She must have been truly terrified by the creatures and the firecracker, as evident by her frantic struggles against her bonds.
