THE NAME OF THE LAW

They call her Marii—Daati Marii.

Above is a promotional poster in tatekan size for Sukeban Deka: daati Marii, which premiered in Japan today in 1974 and was known in English as Sukeban Deka: Dirty Mary. Obviously, the character is based on Clint Eastwood’s Dirty Harry, and the name is phonetically spelled to assist Japanese pronunciation. Way back when we first talked about this flick we were able to watch it free online, but that boat has since sailed over the horizon. Now you’ll have to watch it on Amazon Japan, which probably doesn’t do you much good unless you speak Japanese. We wish we’d taken a few screenshots from the movie back then, but we were in a hurry that day. It’s certainly worth a watch, should the opportunity arise. You can read a bit more about it here. As a bonus, we have some Kozue promo images below. Typically, she made nude photos, and indeed, we’ve already posted many and have others that are flat-out unbelievable which we’ll share later. But today we wanted to show her in casual mode. You see her below, hanging out in Tokyo’s Omiya Park.
