Interesting facts
Rope Hell is a 1978 Japanese film in Nikkatsu's Roman porno series, directed by Kōyū Ohara and starring Naomi Tani.
Background
Rope Hell was based on Oniroku Dan's novel Yakuza Angel (やくざ天使, Yakuza tenshi). Like much of Oniroku Dan's works, Rope Hell uses the theme of a character who is changed through S&M sessions. At the same time that he was creating such dark torture-fests as Rope Hell, Kōyū Ohara was also directing the bright and upbeat Pink Tush Girl films, which were popular with women as well as men.
