The fourth film in this series has a similar set-up to Delinquent Girl Boss: Blossoming Girl Dreams, with Reiko Oshida's Rika getting out of reform school and working for the mechanic father of one of her classmates, who is of course being muscled in on by the Yakuza. Have they learned nothing from the other movies?
The end of this film, where the five female leads wear red overcoats and literally walk in high fashion to the mob boss' lair with the soundtrack blaring was taken and used by Assassination Nation, but trust me, this movie is a billion times cooler than that film can ever dream of being.
Obviously, reform school has only made Rika tougher, but also more concerned about her friends, her community and others, while the Yakuza only wants to take everything they can. That's why she's a hero, even if the world only sees her as a girl that needs tamed.
These films in no way get close to the excesses of this genre, but are certainly worthy of your time.
