"Pinky Violence" is a subgenre of Japanese exploitation cinema that emerged primarily in the 1970s. It's characterized by its combination of sexploitation, violence, and often feminist themes. The term "Pinky Violence" itself is derived from the pink film genre, which refers to Japanese softcore pornographic films.

Key elements of Pinky Violence films include strong, independent female protagonists who often engage in violent revenge against oppressive male figures or institutions. These films frequently feature graphic violence, sexual content, and themes of female empowerment or exploitation. Popular examples of Pinky Violence films include titles like "Sex & Fury" (1973), "Lady Snowblood" (1973), and "Zero Woman: Red Handcuffs" (1974). While they were often low-budget productions, Pinky Violence films gained a cult following both in Japan and internationally for their unique blend of genre elements and social commentary.
