Classics of Western Film
What can I say. Jennifer Jason Leigh, you have more talent than you know what to do with. I mean, you really don't know what to do with it, do you?
Oh the horror, the fascination, the bikini-clad men, the glitter, the glam, the Swedes. Death Ride to Osaka is what films today can only dream of aspiring to in dark, sweaty dreams where they then wake up screaming. Oh and don't forget the gangsters, or as we say in Japan, the ya-ku-za. Fortunately southern belles speak fluent Japanese and yakuza speak fluent English, especially when they are alone. They also have amazingly non-Japanese mannerisms, who knew?
Thank goodness someone has finally exposed the hitherto unspoken white slave trade by which innocent starlet hopefuls with no family and no one to notice their disappearance are suckered into prostitution. Wait till Wai-Wai gets ahold of this! And woe unto them who rebel against their captors who then utter those fateful words, "Send her to Osaka"!
Is that what they're doing to me? Did I somehow cause my school to lose face? They are sending me to "Osaka" later this month. If you do not hear from me after the 25th, know that I loved you and my heart will go on.
Especially for you Jim...
Unless of course you decide to forsake your dedication to career and arrive just in time for the final shootout. I will be the one on the couch, surrounded by henchmen and looking drugged.
