Arrow Video Sex and Fury / Female Yakuza Tale Limited Edition Blu-ray, Region B

Two films in one Region B Blu-ray edition make this a practical way to add Sex and Fury and Female Yakuza Tale to a physical collection. The pairing brings together two Japanese films linked by their yakuza themes and bold, violent style. Sex and Fury reunites director Norifumi Suzuki with action star Reiko Ike. Female Yakuza Tale is directed by Teruo Ishii.

Why it makes sense

Rather than choosing between a single-film release and a broader collection, this limited edition centres on two connected titles. Sex and Fury follows Suzuki and Ike’s earlier collaboration on Girl Boss Guerrilla, described as a genre-defining “female delinquent” classic. Its pulpy approach and lurid violence give it a clear identity within the pairing, while Female Yakuza Tale continues the connection as a sequel, this time under Ishii’s direction.

That makes the release useful for viewers interested in seeing how two directors approach films connected by the same broad screen world. It also brings Ike’s action-star presence and the work of three named filmmakers into one edition, giving the double feature a distinct focus rather than assembling unrelated titles. The Region B Blu-ray format is the practical point to keep in mind when selecting it: playback requires a Region B-compatible Blu-ray player.

Key points

The edition features Sex and Fury and Female Yakuza Tale on Blu-ray and is identified as a Limited Edition. Suzuki directs Sex and Fury, with Reiko Ike as its action star, Ishii directs Female Yakuza Tale. Together, the films offer a pairing shaped by the directors’ different contributions, with the sequel providing a direct continuation of the first film’s context.

The source description characterises Sex and Fury as pulpy and marked by lurid violence. That gives prospective viewers a useful sense of its tone: it is aimed at an audience drawn to forceful, provocative genre cinema, rather than a restrained drama. The release’s two-film format also suits a focused double-feature session, or a collection built around Japanese cult film and the work of Suzuki, Ike or Ishii.

Best use cases

Choose this edition for a home collection when you want both films together and value the relationship between a film and its sequel. Watching Sex and Fury before Female Yakuza Tale gives the pairing its natural context, while viewing them at separate times makes it easy to return to either director’s contribution. The Region B designation matters for playback, so match it with a compatible Blu-ray player for viewing.

This is a more focused purchase than seeking out a general multi-film set: its appeal rests on these two specific titles, their shared yakuza context and the creative names associated with them. The Limited Edition label identifies the release, while the product name keeps the emphasis on the films themselves.

Is it worth it?

For viewers who want a two-film pairing with a clear connection, the main benefit is having Sex and Fury and its sequel, Female Yakuza Tale, together in one Region B Blu-ray edition. Suzuki and Ike’s collaboration, followed by Ishii’s direction of the sequel, gives the set a distinct reason to sit alongside single-film purchases. It is best suited to collectors and viewers seeking these particular titles and their pulpy, violent genre style.
