Synopsis by Mark Deming

A handful of gorgeous women live their lives on the edge in the pursuit of a square meal in this outrageous fusion of action and comedy from Japan. A live-action follow-up to the successful anime feature Tachiguishi Retsuden (aka The Amazing Lives Of The Fast Food Grifters), this feature features six episodes from six different directors, in which gals living outside the law use their charm and their fighting skills to their advantage. A lovely and mysterious woman (Mabuki Ando) beguiles her former beau who now runs a restaurant, a female gunslinger (Miki Mizuno) shows no mercy in Old Arizona, a pop singer (Yuko Ogura) discovers the dark underside of the Japanese music biz in the Seventies, a remarkable story lurks behind a lady's tattoo, a lovely woman will do just about anything to get what she wants from a man (and it isn't love), and a band of interstellar vixens battle for victory and fried chicken. Shin Onna Tachiguishi Retsuden (aka Eat and Run: 6 Beautiful Grifters) was an official selection at the 2008 PiFan World Fantastic Cinema Film Festival in South Korea.
