White Rose Campus

Reminiscent of a cross between THE SWINGING CHEERLEADERS and LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT, this foul but well-made melodrama from director Koyu Ohara (SHIROI MESUNEKO: MAHIRU NO ECSTASY) concerns three Yakuza gangsters hijacking a bus full of schoolgirls. The usual ugliness, rape, and torture ensue, until two of the resourceful victims get the obligatory "bloody revenge." One underground American video company actually released this sordid Nikkatsu film as I SPIT ON YOUR BUS, surely one of the most ludicrously opportunistic retitlings in history. Nami Misaki and Ayako Ohta co-star with Mayo Miyamoto, Miki Yamaji, and Yuichi Minato.
