'Rica 3: Juvenile's Lullaby' aka Konketsuji Rika: Hamagure komoriuta(1973) -  Kōzaburō Yoshimura

I can strongly recommend the fiesty final instalment in this iconic, fabulously zesty girl-fight trilogy! Heroic, yet ill-fated, Rica's violent saga concludes in a suitably exhilarating fashion, once again featuring some stirring W.I.P action! With nary a dull moment, Rica 3: Juvenile's Lullaby even has a propah brillo breadstick battle, which proves Rica is no less deadly with common foodstuffs than her whirlwind fists! Irrepressible, kind-hearted, brave, cunning, and resilient, this sexy, street-fighting siren takes on a sex-trafficking ring, proving proficient at spearing these vile oppressors with a harpoon gun!!! Kōzaburō Yoshimura's exciting feature has plentiful action, slapstick comedy, dramatic interludes, and bravura baguette battery!!! As always, Rika Aoki is never less than captivating, and composer, Jirô Takemura's bouncy soundtrack remains a highlight!
