In Japanese cinema, Meiko Kaji starred in the Sasori
(Scorpion) series of women in prison films, directed by Shunya Ito and adapted from manga.
A number of these films remain banned by the BBFC in
the United Kingdom. Among them are Love Camp 7 (rejected
in 2002) and Women in Cellblock 9 (rejected in 2004), on
the grounds that they contain substantial scenes of
sexual violence.
The lesbian theme in these films also seemingly
influenced mainstream films as Chicago (2002) and
Strangers with Candy (2006).
