The first of five Stray Cat Rock films stars pop singer Akiko Wada and action icon Meiko Kaji as leaders of a violent girl gang in a deadly clash with right-wing nationalists. The female leads’ effortless cool, the psychedelic fashion and soundtrack, and Wada’s impressive riding skills (including a wild chase across crowded pedestrian walkways) make it a snappy audience-pleasing gem.
