Here’s another Japanese nudie sequel that Tubi recommended to me. Like Survive Girls 2 and Captive Factory Girls 2: The Revolt, the original was nowhere to be found on Tubi (or any other streaming platforms for that matter). It’s funny because they have it listed as Girl in Captivity 2: Hitwoman in Chains, which pretty much spoils the twist ending.
A serial rapist attacks a seemingly meek waitress who fends him off with surprising force. Because of the ensuing media attention, she is recognized by her former underworld associates who show up to harass her and her husband (who has no idea about her secret past). They think she has a disc than can bring down some corrupt politicians, so they kidnap her and try to beat the information out of her. It’s only a matter of time before she snaps and shows them what she is really capable of.
Girl in Captivity 2 starts off kind of like a gender-swapped Japanese pink version of A History of Violence. Then, it just kind of turns into your standard bondage flick. I guess I should say “substandard” since this was apparently a cut version with all (well… most) the nudity awkwardly cropped out of frame and/or abruptly edited out.
That’s the only real problem I have with Tubi. They play a lot of Skinamax movies in which all the skin has been edited out. I guess the fact that this was only fifty-nine minutes long should’ve been the tip-off that this was a heavily sanitized version. However, both Captive Factory Girls 2: The Revolt and Survive Girls 2 were about the same running time and they had scads of nudity. Oh well.
As it is, it’s a decent enough movie without the nudity. Adding a bunch of nudity might not have made it necessarily “better”, but it couldn’t have hurt. Right?
Another debit is the fact that it takes a long time before the girl is put into captivity. In fact, her husband was placed in captivity before she was, which is some bullshit if you ask me. The odd stabs at humor (there’s a bumbling policeman who takes a shit in the wood) don’t land either.
AKA: Girl in Captivity 2: Hitwoman in Chains.
