Review:<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Junko Asahina (Horny Working Girl: From 5 to 9<\/a><\/b>, and\u00a0I Love It From Behind!<\/b><\/a>) plays Kei, a former balance beam gymnast who\u2019s somewhat traumatized by her company\u2019s decision to hire her former coach, a cocksure tyrant who ruined her concentration and severed future certificates of merit when he just had to bag his pliable prot\u00e9g\u00e9 the day before her Big Performance.<\/p>\n

Although slightly less politically wrong than the aforementioned films,\u00a0Gym Coach\u00a0<\/b>features plenty of inappropriate groping by upper management, but overall it\u2019s a silly tale of a male-dominated cosmetics company who revamp their women\u2019s athletics division into a rhythmic gymnastics team. At 25, Kei\u2019s ‘too old’ for competition, but she acquiesces to her team\u2019s pleas, dons a purple lycra suit, and participates in rehearsals while her ex-coach \/ mean lover bullies the team with insults and grueling workouts.<\/p>\n

Well, not really, because while the actresses were given minor gymnastic training, they pretty much wobble they way through hastily performed routines. The music is ditsy disco-pop with moronic lyrics, the sex scenes are exceptionally silly, and Kei’s adventure ends when she consummates her relationship with her ex, followed by a naked streamer dance in triumph (because that’s what a dancer does when she’s in a state of bliss).<\/p>\n

The comedic moments within\u00a0Gym Coach<\/b>\u00a0are often quite funny \u2013 a supervisor\u2019s wandering hand and Kei\u2019s shame-on-you defensive slaps are amusing \u2013 and veteran director Koyu Ohara provides some striking compositions in 2.35:1 \u2018scope, but there\u2019s something missing from this particular tale. Perhaps it\u2019s just too vacuous, or lacks the combination of gravitas and ridiculousness in other Roman Porno productions. Asahina sells the film with her innate charm, and the roughly hour-long length ensures the film doesn\u2019t meander, but it\u2019s a weaker effort, perhaps distinguished by its emphasis on humour rather than the usual wrongness.<\/p>\n

Series fans will recognize a few familiar faces (not those\u2026), such as the cosmetic firm\u2019s boss, played by\u00a0I Love It from Behind!<\/b>\u00a0scumbag Shinsho Nakamaru, as well as the identical office location.<\/p>\n

Ohara\u2019s other Roman Porno films released by Impulse \/ Synapse include\u00a0True Story of a Woman in Jail: Sex Hell<\/a><\/b>\u00a0(1975),\u00a0True Story of a Woman in Jail: Continues<\/a><\/b>\u00a0(1975), and the S&M cult classic\u00a0Fairy in a Cage<\/a><\/b>\u00a0(1977). Asahina appeared in Ohara\u2019s\u00a0I Love It from Behind!<\/a><\/b>\u00a0(1981) and\u00a0Goldfinger: One More Time Inside<\/b>\u00a0(1983).<\/p>\n

Impulse\u2019s DVD features a clean transfer with a teaser trailer, and Jasper Sharp\u2019s contextual liner notes which provide overviews of Asahina and Ohara\u2019s careers in the Roman Porno realm, and the director\u2019s peculiar penchant for what Sharp describes as \u201cthe ultra-nasty and the ultra kitsch,\u201d of which hip-swinging\u00a0Gym Coach<\/b>certainly qualifies in the latter.<\/p>\n
