Background
Future Academy Award-winner Yjir Takita started the long-running 'Molester's Train' series at Shinth Eiga. The original series ran for twelve episodes between 1982 and 1985 and was in a light-comic vein similar to early U.S. nudie-cuties such as Russ Meyer's 'The Immoral Mr. Teas' (1959). The popularity of the "Molester" theme led other pink film studios to create their own versions of the series.Weisser, p. 276. When they decided to resurrect the series in 1993, Shinth Eiga chose to go in an entirely different direction by hiring controversial, cult-film director Hisayasu Sat to helm the project.
Critical appraisal
Allmovie writes that, working within Shinth Eiga's 'Molester's Train' series format, 'Molester's Train: Nasty Behavior' is, "much tamer than
In their 'Japanese Cinema Encyclopedia: The Sex Films', the Weissers note that in 'Molester's Train: Nasty Behavior', Sat shows none of his characteristic cinematic brutality. They write of his comparatively tamer films with Godai, "Some praise Sato for the change, while other lose interest in his career". Nevertheless, Jasper Sharp writes that Sat's film still has an austere tone which is completely different in style from Yjir Takita's light-hearted 'Molester Train' films. Sharp notes that 'Molester's Train: Nasty Behavior' exhibits many of Sat's usual interests, including a sequence employing a "disorienting labyrinth of gazes" involving the young male molester, his films, his victim on the train, another molester's victim, and the audience. The audience is given little help in how to interpret the proceedings. "Who do we identify with," Sharp asks, "molester, molested or cameraman, or do we remain just a detached observer?"
