Poster for Step On The Gas (新宿 アウトロー ぶっ飛ばせ), 1970, directed by Toshiya Fujita (藤田 敏八) and starring Meiko Kaji (梶芽衣子), Tetsuya Watari (渡哲也), Yoshio Harada (原田芳雄) and Mikio Narita (成田三樹夫).

It’s not a bad movie, but be warned that the image of Meiko you see here is actually from Stray Cat Rock: Sex Hunter (野良猫ロック セックスハンター) and that she does not brandish a knife or do anything cool like that in the movie. It’s just another “concerned girlfriend” role for her and she doesn’t have much to do.
