Synopsis
Female Prisoner Scorpion: Beast Stable (1973) — watch online on iFILM, the third entry in Toei's Joshuu Sasori series, directed by Shunja Ito, with Meiko Kaji as the escaped prisoner 701. After breaking out, Scorpion surfaces in Tokyo and takes cover inside a brothel.
The madam quickly works out who she is sheltering — and who is hunting her. The cop on Scorpion's trail killed the lover of her closest friend, and the score is unfinished. Ito shifts register here: less the riot-and-punishment of the earlier films, more the city's underside — narrow rooms, neon signs, women cornered by men with authority. Sharp cinematography and Kaji's silence-as-menace make this the most stylistically striking chapter in the series. Stream Female Prisoner Scorpion: Beast Stable online on iFILM.
