It was my turn to pick something for this week's watch party and I decided to go with this fun, wholesome movie about a couple torturing (and killing) women for their sexual gratification.
Assault! Jack the Ripper is quite a depraved little pinku, but the couple's exaggerated antics make the whole thing come off as strangely comical.
I'm not too familiar with the director and the actors portraying the protagonists, but I loved seeing Runa Takamura pop-up for a short scene.
Definitely not for the faint of heart.
Watched with Kali and Adrian.

Couples who have shared interests, often have very rewarding relationships. So find yourself that special someone who enjoys doing the same stuff as you do. It doesn't necessarily have to be dancing or hiking, it could be something as simple as kidnapping women, viciously torturing them and killing them in the most hideous ways possible. You know, a sexy past time shared between lovers.

Another wild and weird exercise in depravity! This Nikkatsu Roman Porno feels so utterly bizarre it's hard to pinpoint who this is exactly for. The whole thing is dripping in cruelty and sleaze - so why is it so light in tone and skipping through the fields like a zany sex-comedy?
The 75 minute film follows a couple who meet working at a restaurant and through a series of mishaps discover they both share a mutual arousal from vicious bloody murder. This leads to a further escalating adventure for the two lovers, until things go completely off the rails and end on quite the sour note.
Despite the ill-fitting head-scratching nature of this beast, it's undeniably slick and sturdy. Visually…

Enjoyed this more the second time. If you can look past all the vaginal stabbings (which is a hell of a thing to look past), the central romance is actually kind of sweet! A real visual treat as well, I’d guess this had the highest budget of any Hasebe Roman Porno.
I think it loses some steam in the second half when Tamaki Katsura and her amazing perm take more of a back seat, which is a shame as her performance is the best thing about this movie.
I still think Rape! 13th hour is his best but this is another nice slice of violent pink from director Hasebe. Worth checking out but ya know… make sure you’re ready for it 😅.

This was incredible. Hasabe brings such a wonderful colorful brilliance to this. one of the better serial killer romance movies ive ever seen.
Cemetary Picnic Sexytime for the win! -
Relationships sure take work! 🎂 It’s a little strange watching this for the first time after +70 Nikkatsu Roman Porno. It’s really not that out of place or disturbing. You can see the evolution of violence and shock within the genre - back to early pink film and really pushed forward with “Wife to be Sacrificed” in 1974 and Nikkatsu’s BDSM line. Eroticized violence would be mixed to further highs in the “Zoom Up” series, “Sex Hunter” (Nikkatsu’s Suspiria from the “Evil Dead Trap” director), “Entrails of a Virgin,” and the unrecognized J-Horror pioneer, “Woman in a Box: Virgin Sacrifice.”
So yes, I’ve seen things. I’ve eaten a lot of cake.
I’ve also seen better women and darker couples. Our…

Y. Hasebe #1 --- Not a story about Jack the Ripper but rather about a weird relationship. A couple gets off on torturing and killing young women. Both work in the confectionery business so of course, the weapon of choice is a cake spatula. That is ridiculous and part of the reason this movie works. It's not disturbing or anything. A lot of the stuff in it comes off funny. Especially the interactions between the two leads. Talking about an odd couple. My personal highlight however was the fusion jazz score. It absolutely kicks ass and adds some strange beauty to every scene.
Watched it with Lou (who picked it for this week's watch party) & Kali.

I've seen a lot of depraved shit throughout all these years and I must say that Yasuharu Hasebes Bôkô Kirisaki Jakku aka Assault! Jack the Ripper is clearly one of the main contenders for the title of World champion of sick. I get a headache just trying to imagine who this flick was actually made for. Who the hell or rather, what the hell is the target group for this sick piece of torment? I did however find myself morbidly entertained by the debacle, which scares me. A lot.
A young and somewhat bitchy waitress finds herself interested in the pastry chef working at the same restaurant. She tries very hard to get his penis inside of her but it…

There’s a pretty wild amount of vaginal stabbing but this somehow feels weirdly… whimsical. The scene where he aggressively eats a sandwich while having sex in a cemetery is the real icing on the cake though.

Typically scuzzy Hasebe production that's not as fun or dynamic as his Stray Cat Rock films or Black Tight Killers, but still has a lot more going on under the surface than you'd think. The way he mixes sex with violence is especially perverse, soundtracking hate-sex and rough murders with the same pieces of Radley Metzger-esque lounge pop. Hasebe denies any sort of subtext, but I can't help but see a lot of this as being a commentary on both the pink film industry and the nature of censorship in Japan. Drags a little near the end, but the first half is among his best work.

i love the nasty nihilistic little pinkus, especially when they're as bloody as this one! it mixes the crime and horror elements with the pink elements to create something that's a fucking bummer (and i mean that positively). there's something very the honeymoon killers about this (especially since that film came out six years before this) and those two films would make a great double feature. what can i say-- i'm a sucker for films about people who have fucked up love languages!

A shy by-the-book pastry chef and disgruntled short-tempered waitress discover killing is their kink and embark on a topsy-turvy sexcapade of murderous mayhem.
Assault! Jack the Ripper wastes no time on bumbling detectives attempting to catch our crotch-gouging killer on the loose. Rather, this movie is all about sex, murder, and murder-sex. There’s a nasty streak of gallows humor running throughout the film - a murder sequence involving a sexy tennis player in a dingy bowling alley, our killer couple murdering plates of spaghetti post-kill or engaging in some cemetery picnic boinking, not to mention a sex scene that asks the question - is that a murder weapon in your pants, or you just happy to see me?
Although the…
