Today we examine a Japanese double feature you never saw at the local drive-in. This one is titled Bondage Make-Up Girl/Torture of Japan. This is an effort from what appears to be the mid 70s. Run time is two hours, each feature one hour in length. I obtained my copy from Vomit Bag Video at the URL below. Drum roll please. Bondage Make-Up Girl I'm not going to review this part. Normally I have no difficulty figuring out the storyline in a Japanese flick even though I don't speak the language. This time however I was utterly lost and with no idea of what was going on. It does have some nice bondage moments and several rapes. If any fellow Gimpers have seen it and were able to figure out the context please fill me in. Torture of Japan This feature consists of three segments, each about twenty minutes long. Segment One It would seem a husband has died leaving his mate inconsolable. Not being able to bear the loss she has been hiding his body in a cold water stream. She pulls the body to shore and is caught in some fondling with it and is whisked away to the police station. There, she is bound wrists to ceiling for interrogation. The interrogator pokes her all over with his sword. He then places her spread eagled on an inclined rack device and liberally sprinkles her body with leeches amid much squirming and squealing. Not happy with the results he binds her with wrists behind to a column. Thin cord is wrapped around her nipples and he tightens same. Next, she is again secured to the incline rack face down and tush elevated for lashing. She has a flashback to her and hubby in just such a position. Our humble interrogator now has her back on the rack face up. He canes her with a bamboo pole then probes her pussy with it. It would seem from another flashback that hubby used to treat her this way. The interrogator cannot believe she does not break from this torture so he binds her atop a razor sharp pony. She has a waist rope rigged so that when he gives it a tug her body goes back and forth on the pony. Stones have been attached to her ankles. He steps on the stones pulling her down and causing her pussy to bleed. Apparently the interrogator has given up and releases her and she walks off. End Segment One Segment Two This begins with dude tapping his wife who responds with utter boredom and disinterest. Dejected, he goes off to work. Wifey shows a lot of interest when her lesbian lover arrives. Hubby begins to click on what may be going on. Days later he walks in while they're doing each other. He has both tied spread eagled to the wall. He uses tiny pinchers on their nipples. Using a huge needle and cord he sews their pussies shut. They are released and allowed a final lesbian moment as he looks on. He has taken them to the back yard and buried them both head down in the ground with their legs sticking straight up in the air. A large knife is used to cut out the offending organs. End Segment Two Segment Three Chick has been hauled in to face authorities for some offense. She is questioned by an officer who seems sympathetic to her plight as though they may have known each other before. The inspector in charge is not quite as mellow as he walks in, slaps her to the floor and steps on her belly with his foot. She is corded wrists to ceiling and her clothing cut off for questioning. Retied in a tight crab on the floor the OIC has Mr. Simpatico lift on her cords pushing her legs closer to her face. She passes out and is revived with a bucket of water. She has been bound to an inclined ladder and has liquid forced down her throat. After spending the night bound on the floor Simpatico comforts her but not for long. OIC has her bound wrists to ceiling and begins yanking out pubes. He probes her pussy with his cane. She has a flashback when she and Simpatico were lovers. OIC has her bound to the incline ladder, wrists behind with her legs spread and bound to the top. He drips wax on her pussy. There is a wok filled with boiling oil. He inserts a bamboo tube in her pussy and pours in the oil. She passes out. This is a tough chick as I thought that would be fatal. Simpatico stabs the OIC who in turn shoots him. They both die. I guess the chick managed to get free and she is hauling Simpatico across a sand dune where she builds a fire and cremates him. End Segment Three. Movie Pluses - all scenes of bondage, torture and torment were very well done - all actresses sold the part well and even the villains played the roles well - really nice for such a low budget production. Movie Minuses - would have liked a rape or two thrown in but otherwise nothing bad to say. The Verdict - Segments One and Three were very strong with Segment Two less so but not by that much - well worth the price.
