Modern Female Ninja: Flesh Hell (現代くノ一肉地獄, Gendai Kunoichi Niku Jigoku) aka Inferno of the Flesh[3][4] is a 1968 Japanese pink film directed by Kan Mukai. It is in the part-color format which was used in pink films in the late 1960s and early 1970s before full-color was made standard with the introduction of Nikkatsu's Roman porno series.[1]
Synopsis[]
One member of a secret society of female ninjas in contemporary Tokyo is kidnapped by international slave traders. The other female ninjas set about rescuing her.[5]

Critical appraisal[]
Director Kan Mukai was known for both his sex-oriented pink films and for his adeptness with action. In their Japanese Cinema Encyclopedia: The Sex Films the Weissers write that with Modern Female Ninja: Flesh Hell Mukai combined his talents for both genres into one film. They give the film three out of four stars, characterizing it as, "Tongue-in-cheek fun, combining some surprisingly vicious S&M sequences with campy female-ninja hijinx." One of the earlier films from Mukai's independent Mukai Studios, the Weissers speculate that this film may have been an inspiration for director 's popular (1991).[5]
