The Wife Collector (1985)

"The Wife Collector" is a pretty damn dark and sleazy 'pinku' flick. I wasn't able to follow the Japanese dialog that, unfortunately, wasn't accompanied by English subs, but this one looked fairly straight-forward so I don't think I missed too much.

A cab driver has a perverted 'hobby' of kidnapping and raping his female passengers while video tapping it for his personal home 'collection'. He ends up rigging his car with a camera, monitor and knock-out gas so he can do all of his rape and recording right in the comfort of the backseat. Things take a turn, however, when his girlfriend finds out about his violent antics and decides to start some sexual degeneracy of her own as a form of payback...

This one is definitely FAR from plot-heavy and keeps the sleaziness flowing strong. A few scenes go into some pretty exhibitionist-territory, which I found pretty interesting. For instance, a rape scene taking place in the backseat of a cab on the shoulder of a busy freeway, non-discretely - followed up by the fully nude and stranded female victim awakening alongside the high-traffic thoroughfare. There's also a scene in which the cabbie "attacks" a woman in a dense crowd of urbanites. In all, "The Wife Collector" isn't one of the more story-driven 'pinku' films out there, but if it's just the 'nuts-n-bolts' rapey sleaze you're after than it's worth a look.
