The Great Chase

Shihomi Etsuko plays a race car driver who also lends out her services to the Japanese Secret Service Although there really isnt much of a chase to be seen Shihomi does pursue a cartel of drug runners and assorted Japanese yakuza types While the story is pure 70s exploitation and gritty crime drama the best reason to see it is for the Martial Arts Action of Etsuko Shihomi The action is overthetop and at times hilarious ie Shihomi battling the lead criminal atop a moving gondola or Shihomi battling a whipwielding Catholic Nun
