Sleepy Eyes of Death 5: Sword of Fire & Wandering Ginza Butterfly 2: Wildcat Gambler

Sleepy Eyes 5
This is much better again, its gender politics only questionable instead of abominable. The return of Kenji Misumi injects something like a heart which sometimes even beats in the right place; other times at least in interesting wrong places.
The evil woman here isn't evil because she's a woman, but because the only thing she (and nearly every other character, our hero excepted) cares about is money.
Still not as great as parts one and two.

Wandering Ginza Butterfly 2
Hm, Meiko Kaji's character doesn't have much more than name and occupation in common with her role in the first part. Now she's a much more traditional female ninkyo hero, fortunately not quite as mild-mannered and modest as Junko Fuji, but still obviously the only kimono wearing woman in the 70s. She has suddenly acquired a dead father-to-be-revenged and doesn't play billiard anymore.
Solid fun. Plus Meiko Kaji & Sonny Chiba.

Darlings of the Day (Samurai Edition):
"Hey! Hey! We are not talking the way we should be. You, the merchant, waxing lyrically while I, the samurai, utter vulgarities?"

"The moonlight that kisses my face shall be the last sight in this world for you!"

"Such selfish nonsense! That's another reason why I can't stand Daimyo."

Darlings of the Day (Yakuza Special):
"It gives me good luck to stick my hand in a beautiful woman's kimono."
