Closer and closer to the big 6-0, Pam Grier still looks absurdly young. Her movie schedule has slowed down a bit, but she can be seen in The L Word television series.

Yvonne Craig: 72

I know that she’s the ultimate Batgirl, but for me Yvonne Craig was more alluring as a green-skinned alien in the original Star Trek series. Even at 72 today, she remains a youthful individual!

Another ageless Bond Girl, Talisa Soto turns 41 today. Motherhood (two children with Benjamin Bratt) has been her principal occupation these last few years, so don’t pray right now for a sequel to Vampirella!

WiP: Female Prisoner Scorpion: Grudge Song and Meiko Kaji turns 61

WiP movies, Birthdays, Meiko Kaji No Comments

Meiko KajiThis is it, the last of four chapters for this amazing series starring Meiko Kaji as the title character. I conclude this small tribute on this very day, as star Meiko turns 61! Was this installment very necessary, considering how the previous episode ended? Well, no, to tell the truth. Sasori is still on the lam but will eventually find help with a technician that works in a strip joint. This guy has been crippled in the past by police brutality and is delighted to help someone who’s considered a fugitive of the law. Will Sasori find it in her bruised heart to trust a man? And is she really getting some? And how many movie screen characters how you seen kill an enemy using a flower? Watch out for these female prison guards, with awesome uniforms and boots giving us memories Ilsa, She-Wolf of the SS! And they don’t seem to mind watching prime beefcake in magazines, either!

With a new director, this movie has a couple of typical astonishing scenes with awesome color effects, but Yasuharu Hasebe is no Shunya Ito. I was also a bit disappointed that Sasori is involved in the needless and not so accidental death of a minor character, which is contrary to her character’s motivations. Still, she utters one of her longest monologue in the series (like, four or five consecutive sentences!).

Besides some reservation in the way the series was being treated (script, budget), this is still heads ahead of the majority of WiP offered worldwide, an unexpected haunting experience. The series would continue with different actresses beginning in 1976 with New Female Prisoner Scorpion 701, but with limited success.
