 We have two posters here for the classic pinku flick Sukeban gerira, aka Girl Boss Guerilla, with Miki Sugimoto and Reiko Ike. The top version is pretty hard to find, and the bottom one is ultra rare. Unfortunately, because our column width here is a bit narrow, the second poster’s horizontally oriented design loses something, but we did upload a rotated version as well, so if you want to see a bit more detail, drag it to your desktop and turn it. A third version of this poster was included with a post we did last year, and you can see that here (it’s next to last in the group). Sukeban gerira premiered in Tokyo today in 1972.
 Whether by bullet, blade or back of the hand, she’s gonna make you pay.    _m_(aka_violence_sweeper)_m_1974.jpg)     
Above are nine vintage Japanese pinku posters from our large collection, for films featuring that scourge of evil men everywhere—Reiko Ike. These are circa 1971 to 1974, and they are, top to bottom, 1: Sukeban burûsu: Mesubachi no gyakushû, aka Girl Boss Blues: Queen Bee’s Counterattack; 2 & 3: Sukeban: Taiman shobu, aka, Girl Boss: Mano a Mano; 4: Black Leopard M (we don’t know the Japanese title for that one); 5 & 6: Kyôfu joshikôkô: bôkô rinchi kyôshitsu, aka Terrifying Girls’ High School: Lynch Law Classroom; 7: a rare and valuable round poster for Sukeban, aka Girl Boss Revenge; 8: Sukeban gerira, aka Girl Boss Guerilla; 9: Furyo bancho: Norainu kidotai, aka Wolves of the City: Alley Dog Commando. A quick word about the last one: that is Reiko Ike on the poster, with a machine gun at lower right. We’ve seen this debated on a couple of websites, but there’s no debate—it’s her, beauty mark next to her mouth and all. Besides, her name is on the poster, left column, fifth line. We’ll have more Reiko Ike posters down the line (no, we haven’t run out yet), and we’ll upload promos from other pinku stars as well. To see our entire Reiko Ike collection, click here. Also, we still have some very provocative posters of pinku stars Miki Sugimoto, Naomi Tani, Meg Flower and others that have never appeared online before, as far as we know. We promise we will get those up soon-ish.
