Despite being the middle part of "Black Society Trilogy", Rainy Dog stands apart from the other two parts for two reasons. The first one is that it was shot on location in Taiwan with a Taiwanese crew, and the second that the psychopathic gangsters are nowhere to be found in here. Yuuji is a Yakuza who gets fired from his organization and leaves for Taipei, since he thinks that someone maybe after him to kill him. In there, he starts working for a Chinese gang boss, who acts like he has an affection for him, without, though tricking anybody. A little later, a woman who had previously sex with Yuuji, drops a boy in his house, telling him to take care of him. Furthermore, the boy seems to be mute. Yuuji barely pays attention to the boy, but he continues following him, watching him kill his targets and indulge in the pleasures offered by a brothel. While there, Yuuji meets Lily, a prostitute who wants to escape her life. As soon as he realizes that his new gang turns against him, using Lily to find him, Yuuji takes the boy and her and escape, while traitors and killers seem to follow them everywhere. …show more content…

Viramontes sets a disconcerting tone by introducing that it is night time and Sonya, the young girl, has lost her key and cannot let her younger brother, Macky, and herself into their apartment.

The women’s bodies in the film are for erotic display even without full nudity and no ale eroticism is implied in the film. The prostitutes (inmates) are the whores who cannot be trusted all together because none of them are innocent anymore and are only simply utilized by them ad must follow their rules. The film wants to celebrate independence of females from the male’s dominance with their own female will-power but that can be somewhat contradicted since the role of The Wise Man played by Scott Glenn leads the way for the females and gives them advice. But in this film, every scene he is in, he only does just that and gives them clues so that the females CAN lead themselves to their escape. The lighting in the film also contributes to the beauty of the female body when there are revealing outfits and there are colorful lights that help excentuate their bodies. Babydoll and the rest of the females are killed off except for Sweat Pea in the end who escapes on a bus because she is rewarded in the end for distracting the visitors and is saved for not fighting back, but sacrificing herself. In the end Babydoll escapes as well but receives a lobotomy therefore finds paradise in another manner. But the plot twist is that Babydoll is
