Massage Parlor Murders! (1973)
Massage Parlor Murders! is fucking great. It delivers on sleaze and stupidity. The death scenes are filthy and crass. The nudity is rampant and gratuitous. The performances are big and stupid.
Trapped in Lust (1973)
Trapped in Lust is exactly the sort of pink film that got me interested in the genre in the first place. From its super cool poppy soundtrack that always kicks in at the right moment to its swaggering leading man, this is a film dripping in style.
How to deal with a pervert
While Female Yakuza Tale is quite an amazing film, most of it is far too filthy for a clip to survive on YouTube. This gross but comparatively innocent moment is probably all that I can get away with sharing.
Woods Are Wet: Woman Hell (1973)
I've seen far more repulsive Roman Pornos, but there's something exceptionally unnerving about Woods Are Wet. Kumashiro mixes sex, death and sadism into the bleakest of tales. This is one Roman Porno I won't be forgetting in a hurry.

Belladonna of Sadness (1973)
Eiichi Yamamoto is probably most famous for his child friendly Battleship Yamamoto series as well as a very successful Astro Boy movie. However between the two in 1973 he directed and co-wrote the movie Belladonna of Sadness. Based on “The Witch” by Jules Michelet and considered to be one of the earliest animated pinku films,...
