This week’s clip is from the live action film, Cutie Honey.  The film is based on a manga/anime series from the 70s by Go Nagai.  The original racy artwork helped many young Japanese males reach puberty and probably could be credited for giving rise to the whole otaku generation.

The live action film stars Japanese pin-up girl Eriko Sato and was first released in 2004.  The US release date for the Cutie Honey DVD is April 17.
