Stray Cat Rock: Delinquent Girl Boss (1970)

A group of street-savvy women, really just chicks with knives and razor blades, fight for a purpose when a sukeban rides into town and provides guidance. It's interesting seeing the traditional roles of the sexes reversed, and exploring how rules are applied and disregarded in the contrasting arenas of the street and the boxing ring, but ultimately DGB is 80+ minutes of style over substance played out to a soundtrack of funky jazz and psychedelic rock.
If Dir. Hasebe had further indulged his willingness to explore a film frame’s role in the telling of a story then things might've been better.
