sex and fury (1973)

aka Furyô anego den: Inoshika Ochô.
"Who is the third person that killed my father?"
Meiji era Japan and a young girl sees her father robbed and murdered, and vows to take revenge. Years later Ocho (Reiko Ike) has grown into an accomplished gambler, and through a chance encounter with an anarchist she finally finds the gangsters responsible, but they are now rich and powerful industrialists and politicians protected by the Yakuza, how is she to enact her vengeance? complicating things is Christina (Christina Lindberg) a foreign spy sent to destabalise the Japanese government.
A fine example of Asian sexploitation, marrying a fine revenge tale with lots of sex. Stylish and brutal.
