Only in Japanese cinema could you find a character living by a
such a seriously messed-up moral code as biker Kawashima (Sanshô
Shinsui): as a member of a ruthless gang, he thinks nothing of robbing
and raping innocent strangers on a daily basis, yet he goes out of his
way to protect an innocent schoolgirl from being raped by fellow thug
Kaji; given orders to rape the schoolgirl himself, however, and he
complies without protest. Kawashima also acts as guardian to his younger
sister Megu, protecting her from the harsh realities of his life, but
when he catches the occasional glimpse of her blossoming female form, it
is clear that his feelings of brotherly love extend beyond the accepted
norm.
Such an unbalanced individual should make for very interesting
viewing, but sadly Takashi Ishii's meandering, confusing and ultimately
pointless script for Angel Guts High School Co-ed wastes any opportunity
to delve further into Kawashimi's clearly disturbed psyche (or those of
his pals), preferring instead to simply deliver a series of sleazy
sexual assaults for the viewers' titillation. The girls are very
attractive of course, and all get nekkid for the camera, but as much as I
enjoy seeing pretty Japanese babes in the buff, I had hoped Angel Guts:
High School Coed would offer something a little more substantial in the
plot department to prevent tedium from setting in.
