A
handful of mysterious Japanese women take part in a deranged web show
that makes them strip off their clothes when they lose a round of
Mahjong. When there is nothing left to hide, the losers secrets are
revealed and the nubile contestants must take their punishment. Can
anyone survive, or keep their clothes on, in the dangerous game of
"STRIP
MAHJONG: BATTLE ROYALE?"
Gleefully adding a risqué, wry twist to an ancient game of strategy,
this erotic thriller delivers voyeuristic thrills with the friskiness
of Seventies sexploitation flicks, providing titillating, strange and
kinky gameplay at every turn!
You just have to love the Japanese,
they really know what they are doing when it comes to exploitation
films. This flick doesn't try to hide what it is in the least. Sure
it's a highly misogynistic concept but that's all part of the
exploitation game. Usually I'd balk at a flick like this because more
often then most they have no redeeming value and are two steps away
from a bad Asian porno. But “Strip Mahjong” has an ace up it's
sleeve. It's the perverse, over the top sense of the humor the film
contains. It's impossibly hard to take this film seriously and that's
a good thing. I also found it refreshing that the film didn't take
the easy out aka going for the gore. This isn't Red Room 1 or 2 or
any other single location Japanese horror flick. Sure it's Japanese
sleaze, but it's sleaze with a sense of satire.
