This Week In Japanese Nunsploitation

If you've ever wondered where Japan's love of bizarre sexual ritual comes from, you can rest assured that this is not a recent development. Yes, flogging, hot tub bondage, and filthy horny nuns are time-honored themes in Japanese cinema--at least according to the selection of classic DVDs available at Japan Shock. These old rape-revenge fantasies, samurai-mob murders, and S&M sex romps are proof that erotically violent entertainment is nothing new, both here and abroad. Heck, even Genki-Genki is old hat to the "Shoguns of Joy Torture." You just can't beat Japanese sex horror dubbed into German voices.
