I thought "Female Prisoner #701: Scorpion" was an awesome exploitative adventure filled with over-the-top violence and a revenge story that made me want to cheer. "Female Prisoner Scorpion: Jailhouse 41" continued Matsu the Scorpion's (Meiko Kaji, "Lady Snowblood") journey in a way that artistically expanded the world established in the first film while still giving us a compelling story that furthered the legend of our titular character. This third entry is the last of the FPS series directed by Shun'ya Ito, and while I can't say that it's as much fun as the previous entries in the series, I can say that fans of the first two films will probably still find a lot to enjoy in this movie: there are plenty of sleazy and exploitative scenes that justify the sequences of over-the-top graphic violence, and the way the film approaches that violence is still pretty artistic, and, of course, Matsu still has her sting.
