Live Action Zako (10 Viewers)

[Kimblis]

Howdy all,

I'm posting this in the hope that we can spread out from our one main thread a bit.

There are plenty of instances of zako in games, and a decent number in animated media, but zako in live action situations seem quite rare. In movies and television, there will often be large squads of bad guys, but not a single bad girl. This thread is for the exceptions to that rule. The more cannon fodder evil babes, the better!

I know DynamiteFetish already posted a thread pointing out the zako from "Danger 5", and that's a good one, but there are many more out there. I'll post my live action material here, and I urge others to do the same.

Cash (2007) - Indian movie featuring some female zako

My first contribution to this topic. These zako may not be the best, but they aren't terrible either. Basically, two heroines have to fight against several female thugs dressed in black spandex catsuits. Unfortunately, as is so often the case with zako, their scenes are over quickly and there is not much focus on them before, during, or after the fight. On the other hand, the female baddies are pretty hot, they are hit pretty hard, and they are left lying scattered and unconscious on the road. So that's something.

The first baddie is actually thrown from a speeding car:

The others are beaten up by martial arts and fisticuffs:


For some reason the film intersperses short animated clips along with the regular filming:


The end result: the heroines do a high five and run off, leaving the baddies where they fell.



Clip on YouTube:



Just as a bonus...I'l have to do an entire post later on (or perhaps thread) dedicated to the zako from the "Female Combatants" series from Zen Pictures, but here's a little sample for now:

Hi everyone. I'm new to the term "zako" but I've been into the whole female minions, henchwomen, goons, mooks, etc for a long time, and I prefer live-action scenes myself, so I thought I'd introduce myself here. I have many clips to contribute and will be doing so soon, including a better quality version of the above scene with the female combatants (the one that look like female version of putty henchmen from Power Rangers).

Operation White Shark (1967)

A group of zako, led by some fat man, approach the hero and his girl. The girl takes on the zako, and knock them all out. The hero and his girl leave them on the ground.


Clip: Operation Whiteshark - fight.avi

Two zako henchwomen are patrolling a cave where the evil organization is located. The hero is trying to infiltrate it. They run into the hero, and the smart zako hides while the less competent zako shoots and shoots at the hero until she runs out of ammo. The hero then shoots her dead. The other zako thinks the hero doesn't know she's hiding, so she comes out to try and kill the hero, but we find out she isn't as smart as we thought.


Clip: Operation Whiteshark - shot.avi

Enjoy!

A better quality clip of the Female Combatants "Captivities" video that Kimblis posted.

Dozens of Zako are defeated by Power Rangers-type heroes. Multiple KO and many fall into body piles.



Clip: Captivities - Zako.avi

Starcrash (1978)

A sort of human robot and his female friend are captured by a gang of evil Zako, dressed like Amazons, and the female leader orders them to kill the humanoid robot. After he is shot, the female friend takes on the Zako amazons.


But there are too many... She is captured again and brought to the presence of the evil Amazon leader, surrounded by dozens of Zako Amazons.


The human/robot guy returns to save his female friend, and takes the evil Amazon leader as hostage so they can escape. The Zako Amazons chase after them, but the robot guy zaps a few of the ones that are able to follow them. Unfortunately, that's the last we see of any of the Zako or their leader in this movie.


Clip: Starcrash - Zako.avi

Enjoy!

The Avengers (TV show) "How To Succeed At Murder (1966)

A group of Zako attack the female heroine, but she is able to fight them off, knocking a few out as they fall in a body pile. She then knocks out the rest by hitting their heads against one another.


Clip: Avengers - Succeed at Murder - Zako.avi

Enjoy!

There is a lot of great stuff there, Amazon Shark, but in the future, if nobody's posted again and you have something you would like to add, if the post is only a few hours old, please use the edit button and add it in there. Thanks. :)

 

[Amazon Shark]

No problem. Sorry about that.


Virgins From Hell (1987)

Two Zako's are shot and taken out by the good girls of the movie. You can see a third minion in the background previously taken out off-screen.


Clip: Virgins From Hell1-shot.avi

The aftermath. The female lead and male hero swap tongues right in front of the defeated Zako.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Temptress of 1000 Faces (1969)

In this movie, the main bad guy is a villainess, and she has an army of male henchmen, as well as female minions dressed in black outfits with boots; all of which get taken out in this scene. A bunch of female Zako and henchmen are shot while the heroes try and infiltrate the villainess' hideout.



The villainess' 2nd-in-command, and the leader of the Zako (wearing the red vest), along with another female mook, is also shot.

Amazons vs Supermen (1974)

We're first introduced to the Zako, as Amazons, during a tournament to see how the next leader of the Amazons will be, or something like that.


Clip: Amazons vs Supermen-1-FightLeader.avi


The heroes infiltrate the Zako Amazons village and rescue the villagers the Zakos kidnapped.
One of the heroes knocks the guards out with a single rock.


Clip: Amazons vs Supermen-2-Infiltrate.avi


The Zako Amazons attack the hero's village, but the hero sends a bomb their way.


Clip: Amazons vs Supermen-3-bomb.avi


One of the good guys and his girlfriend fight off a few Amazon Zakos.


Clip: Amazons vs Supermen-4-fight1.avi


The same good guy takes on a few more incompetent Amazon Zakos.


Clip: Amazons vs Supermen-5-fight2.avi


The finale. Whatever Amazon Zako remain are cornered into a trap, where the villagers gather them up,
knock them out with clubs, and toss them all into a body pile like garbage.



Once the Zako Amazons are disposed of, the hero takes out the lead Zako.


Clip: Amazons vs Supermen-6-final.avi


Enjoy!

More to come!!!

great post! stuff like this is what got me into Zako in the first place (before i even knew it was an actual fetish)

I love how the three women who attack them are dressed in tight black leotards. I love how two of them get knocked out and are shown lying face down while the fight goes on (displaying their wonderful butts.) Finally I love how you see all three of them lying on the ground at the end

Has anyone seen perils of Gwendolyn...it probably has on of the best ZaKo scenes ever but it seems like it was never digitailed

 

[Amazon Shark]

I know what you're talking about. I'll upload Gwendolyn later, along with some more Zako scenes.

EDIT - Here are the Gwendolyn clips.



Perils Of Gwendoline In The Land Of The Yik Yak (1984)

Sorry, no preview pics for this one.

A female Zako get's "hooked". Later, while Gwendoline is held in a dungeon, her dungeon mate chokes the evil Zako and steal her uniform.
Clip: http://www.mediafire.com/?fzoai94utbgrbet


Zako-operated chariots are used to escape, but the Zako catch up to the heroes, knocking over their chariot, along with the Zako pulling it. The male hero is captured, but Gwendoline gets away. She is chased by one of the Zako and is almost killed, but her dungeon friend from before throws a big boulder at the Zako's head, killing her. The Zako's mask is removed so Gwendolyn can pose as the Zako. The dead Zako is rolled down a hill.

Much more clips to come!

Oh yeah...

Wow...so many awesome contributions! Thanks Amazon Shark!

Let me add a bit more to this. From Mighty Heroine (I think that's the title):
Four zako ambush the heroine disguised as doctors/nurses, but she takes them down in a variety of ways, from injecting one with a syringe, to choking one out, to just beating them up:




The zako try again, but the results are the same. When the last zako tries to run, the heroine chases her down and takes her out:



In a final confrontation, the zako use swords, but this turns out to be a huge mistake for them! They are left scattered on the ground while the heroine faces a big monster:

Wonder Women (1973)

A campy 70s movie with lots of henchwomen and minions. Some turn good towards the end of the movie, but the ones in the yellow outfits stay evil and get what's coming to them ;)


Our hero is trying to infiltrate the evil villain's hideout, and takes out a Zako in the process. There's too many, though, and he is taken prisoner.


Clip: WonderWomen1.avi


One of the bad-girls-turned-good shoots one of the zako and destroys a lab. Our hero escapes with the main female lead, who is also a bad-girl-turned-good, and shoots a bunch of evil zako on a stairwell. More zako forces are brought in.


Clip: WonderWomen2.avi


More zako forces try to take down the hero, but he shoots most of them. A couple of zako are killed by the weird zombie-like men that were made in the lab.


Clip: WonderWomen3.avi

Enjoy.

More to come!!!

 

[horatiojones80]

there was one zako scene that really did it for me. It involved a 'heroes vs. amazons' scenerio where two men, captured by amazons strangle a zako guard and hide her in a barrel. I dont think its from the movie you posted. i saw the clip on youtube once and have been unable to track it down.

More Zako!!!

Phoenix the Warrior (She Wolves of the Wasteland) - A post-apocalyptic movie from the 80s in which all but a few men have died, and all the women now run around in skimpy outfits shooting at each other and engaging in sword fights and such. Our heroine fights against an old evil hag who has a bunch of younger evil babes do her bidding.
Our heroine, and the first two zako she takes care of:
More zako. The tall blonde one is my personal favorite:
I like the contrast between the mohawk zako and the curly blonde zako:
The arena features some interesting zako, and lots of bloodshed:

Samurai Avenger: The Blind Wolf - This movie got awful reviews and I have not watched most of it, but there is one part where the heroes take on three really hot zako, and deal with them very ruthlessly.

Download clip here: Action Blind Wolf zako.avi



Half Baked - Let's lighten the mood a bit with some zako from a comedy. These zako all work for a drug kingpin, who has them dress in skimpy outfits and swing swords and stuff. The heroes in this movie are your stereotypical stoner types, but they still manage to defeat the zako, sometimes in creative ways.
They spend a lot of time standing around looking sexy:
And of course threatening our brave stoner heroes:
But they're not so good when it comes to actually fighting:

George of the Jungle 2 - Another comedy. This one features the heroic jungle dude George trying to fight off a bunch of bulldozers from destroying his jungle. One of the bulldozers is operated by two hot zako who are in no way dressed to be operating heavy machinery:
George meets the two lovely ladies, who proceed to dish out some pain:
Because George is being chivalrous, his kangaroo (seriously) takes on the women:
As the two get back to their feet, George's friggin kangaroo gets an idea:
And this is the last we see of these two:

By the way, I realize it is debatable whether the last two henchwomen qualify as zako, since they each seem like somewhat individual characters...but the fact remains, neither is given much development within the movie, and their only function is to come into conflict with the hero and be defeated by him (or his kangaroo).
I think that keeps them on the side of being zako, right?

Anyway, there are more Live Action Zako yet to come!

The scene you're looking for should be found on this thread. Forum ~ Runboard If not, I have the movie.

Anyways...


Million Eyes of Sumuru (1967)

Dozens of evil Zako are killed during a battle between the heroes and an army at their side, and the villainess. All her henchwomen are killed, but she manages to escape (for the sequel of course).

Geheimcode Delta Force (1978)

aka Geheimcode Death-Force
aka Sabotage 2

A rare Filipino movie from the late 70s. The movie features female henchwomen running around in skimpy red bikinis, mixed with henchmen in red jumpsuits. This clip has all the Zako scenes that are featured. I have never seen the entire movie, someone else edited these scenes. There is a big battle at the end.




Clip: deleted broken link


Unknown Zen-Pictures movie (2008?)

Scene featuring many Zako in tight tops and short shorts, with dark masks face off with the heroines of the movie.

[DynamiteFetish]

Wow, most of these films are considerably older than me.. I had literally 0% idea that there were films like this from the 1960s! (or even the 70s). Either it's my age or I am naive; I have no clue of the commercial (or lack of) success these films were likely to have received, but starting from the top - the zako in Operation White Shark are dressed in an incredibly sexy manner, and are very attractive in their own right - that's a great scene, with some nice pacing. I would like to have seen the zako doing some more winning, but both clips are great.

Really loving the girl in white, probably because of her vulnerable state right at the end (before her unfortunate death, of course). I really wished that the samurai could've shown some compassion... alternatively I wish I could draw, so I can make some alternate ending to it :p

Spoiler: gifs here :)

Contributing some .gifs of her, since she's very cute. Granted, she's got a case of no-chest, but that's not an issue to me :)

Also, I saw the trailer. Apparently the three zako did a short dance thing in the movie, with the zako in white leading (the actress is credited as dance choreographer). Judging by the looks of the trailer it seems like an obvious parody of spaghetti westerns (in the director's words, this is 'sushi western') much like the game "Samurai Western". Should be a fun watch, if not for its "so bad it's good" value."

 

[DynamiteFetish]

reblaze, awesome gifs.. how are you making them?
