Critics Consensus

This gratuitous film somehow takes the idea of girl power and turns it into a misogynistic raunchfest.

Andrea Gronvall

Chicago Reader

A flimsy plot about Korean spies leads to a climactic sight gag involving an enhanced version of George W. Bush's forefinger, but it's all window dressing for the main attraction: lots of bouncing T & A.

The Glamorous Life of Sachiko Hanai is far less silly than it thinks it is. The upbeat vibe of super-female power misfires with a gratuitous rape scene.

Rated: 1.5/4

Chicago Tribune

Conceptually outlandish but routinely executed, this comic exploration of macho, control-freaky power struggles the world over remains skin-deep.

Rated: 2/4

... a weird hybrid in the vein of the 1974 American sex pic Flesh Gordon, but with a more modern, goosed-up style.

My head wants to explode at the woman-hating hideousness of this.

Recklessly fun, explosively colorful and intensely, abusively edited.

Perhaps my first 'pinky' film, it was meh, but with a couple of absolute hilarious and memorable scenes. Espeicially with George Bush. Not safe for kids. And some adults ;)

an amazing funny sexy movie. the actress is gorgeous, while doing a wonderful performance of getting turned on as she learns things after her injury. The spy substory adds great humor and an excuse to finish the tale.

Geniale Pinku Eiga che fa molto molto ridere. Se i film sexy fossero tutti cosÃ¬, li guarderei sempre. Gli italiani cercavano di fare un genere simile con i vari film "pecorecci", finendo per fare film anche peggiori di certi porno. Qui invece si ride davvero, c'Ã¨ un senso di surreale divertito anarchismo e la regia Ã¨ decisamente buona.
