So here we are, almost at the fountain where everything started. “Eyecatch Junction” is the second film directed by Takashi Miike, but was released prior to his first motion picture, “Lady Hunter: Prelude to Murder” (1991), which makes this the first Miike material presented to a broad audience.
“Eyecatch Junction” is a police comedy about three women who decide to establish a secret crime-fighting unit, because all the interesting cases are done by their male colleagues. By joining the police fitness club, they find a perfect cover for their activities. The investigation of a panty thief at the local women’s dormitory leads them to a serious murder case.
Besides fighting criminals in colorful gymnastic outfits, the main part of the film consists of girls being watched by perverts and some minor efforts of solving the actual crime. “Eyecatch Junction” is playful, silly and contains a lot of comical notes.
