Quick Answer

What is True Story of a Woman: Continues about?

True Story of a Woman: Continues is a 1975 Japanese action, crime, drama, and thriller film directed by Kōyū Ohara about Mayumi, a hardened woman navigating the brutal world of a corrupt women's prison after seeking revenge on her rapists.

Programmer's Pick

Nikkatsu’s Roman Porno line rarely went this ferocious: Mayumi is no damsel, but a battle-scarred survivor who answers brutality with her own brand of justice. If you like your women-in-prison films laced with vengeance and a lead who takes no prisoners, this sequel does not disappoint.

Overview

After surviving solitary confinement, Mayumi returns to the general population of a notorious women’s prison, only to find a new group of bullies tormenting a vulnerable inmate. Having grown even tougher from her ordeals, Mayumi refuses to tolerate abuse—especially when the young woman falls prey to a group of Yakuza-connected prisoners. As Mayumi steps up to defend the powerless, her actions ignite a wave of violence and resistance within the prison walls. This film delivers hard-edged drama and raw energy, framed by themes of revenge, survival, and the unbreakable will of women forced to fight back in a corrupt, oppressive system.
