Sailor Suit And Machine Gun (1981) (Blu-ray) (4K Scanning Remastered
Edition) (Japan Version)

Product Description

Classic 80s film Sailor Suit & Machine Gun comes to Blu-ray! An entertaining mixture of adolescent tropes & yakuza satire, the film features two iconic names of the 80s
- director Somai Shinji ( Typhoon Club & Tokyo Heaven) & teen idol Yakushimaru Hiroko. Perhaps best known in the West for her role in Fukasaku Kinjis Legend of the Eight Samurai, in Japan Yakushimaru is most remembered for her performance as a schoolgirl yakuza boss in Sailor Suit & Machine Gun, particularly the classic scene in which she wields a machine gun in a sailor suit school uniform. Yakushimaru, who is still active in the film industry, recently appeared in films like Princess Raccoon & Always
- Sunset on Third Street. Long a cult & art circuit hit, Sailor Suit & Machine Gun experienced a mainstream revival in 2006 when the story, based on an Akagawa Jiro novel, was turned into a TV series starring Nagasawa Masami, Tsutsumi Shinichi, & Ogata Ken.

High school student Hoshi Izumi (Yakushimaru Hiroko) is just a normal teenaged schoolgirl, except for the fact that her father is a yakuza boss. When her father suddenly dies, Izumi inherits his position as the clan head. Pulled into the wheeling, dealing, & fighting of the mob world, Izumi slowly comes into her own as she leads the gang in search of her fathers murderer.
