Onna Tachiguishi-Retsuden (女立喰師列ä¼) taglined Ketsune korokke no Ogin: Paresuchina shitÅ hen (ケツãƒã‚³ãƒãƒƒã‚±ã®ãŠéŠ€ ~ãƒ'レスãƒãƒŠæ»é—˜ç¯‡~), is a live-action short movie directed by Japanese filmmaker Mamoru Oshii.
Title
The original title translates in English as Female Fast Food Grifter: Foxy Croquette O-Gin ~Struggle to Death in Palestine~.
Short
This live action film is a spinoff episode of the anime feature film Tachigui: The Amazing Lives of the Fast Food Grifters released in April 2006. It focuses on a female Fast Food Grifter known as Foxy Croquette.
The premium edition was available as a DVD (24 minutes) bundled with the first issue of Monthly Comic Ryu ("月刊 Comic リュウ"). The disc was inserted in a paperboard package.
The magazine's first issue coincides with the release of the video edition of Tachiguishi-Retsuden in Japan.
On December 22, 2006 the short film was re-released in a regular DVD case and made available in stores. This retail edition features 39 minutes of extra material (Making Of featurette and a Mamoru Oshii interview) and a different disc serigraphy using the new cover artwork.
The first print contains a pair of collector wooden chopsticks, as a reference to the one used by the female Fast Food Grifter in the movie. Customers ordering from the distributor's official online shop can get an extra pair of chopsticks. This limited edition uses the original movie's own colors blue/yellow, while the regular package is designed after the short, i.e. black/red.

Story
Plot
This short spinoff relates the adventures of Foxy Croquette O-Gin after she mysteriously disappeared from NagatachÅ, Tokyo, as seen in Tachiguishi-Retsuden. She actually left Japan after the incident that occurred during the demonstration against the 1960 Japan-USA Security Treaty (Anpo) renewal, to move in the Middle East and fight there as a guerrilla.
Palestine guerrilla turned Foxy Croquette O-Gin, aka AK Ginko, could be the mysterious Young Lady of Fate (å°'女, shÅjo) featured in The Red Spectacles as both characters are performed by Japanese model and actor, Mako Hyodo which is dressed like Little Red Riding Hood in both films.
