Above are two similar but not identical high kicking posters for Document porno: Sukeban, aka Dokyumento poruno: Sukeban, known in English as Porn Document: Sukeban. At some point the original panty shot must have been deemed inappropriate, because as you can see it was covered with black paint. It's like her crotch went into mourning. And we did too, a little, when we saw it. Was the retouch effort supposed to look like tights? We suppose so, but it's a pretty ham-handed effort. We'd love to know if the second poster is an official promo from Purima Kikaku, the studio that made the film, or a one-off from an individual cinema. We'll never know, we're sure. Document porno: Sukeban premiered in Japan today in 1973. It was the prequel to Dokyumento poruno: zoku sukeban, aka Porn Document: Sukeban 2. You can see that poster here. Also, you can see another high kicking Japanese poster here.

This high kicking poster is for the Japanese pinku flick Semi-dokyumento: Sukeban yôjimbô. It's an obscure movie. It never had a western release, thus has no western title, but it would translate to like, “Semi-document: Girl Boss Bodyguard,” or “Semi-document: Girl Boss Bouncer.” It has nothing to do with the Noir City Film Festival that we've been looking at the past week, but we wanted to slip it in because we're dogmatic about sharing movie posters on premiere dates and this film opened in Japan today in 1974. We have another Noriko Igarashi movie poster which you can see here, and a summery promo image below.
