Like the Zatoichi franchise, Scorpion also inspired its share of knock-offs. Nikkatsu Studios produced two racy Female Convict 101 (Joshuu 101) films during 1976-1977 and in 1991 Evil Dead Trap director Tashiharu Ikeda revived the series with Female Convict Scorpion Death Threat (Joshuu Sasori Satsujin Yakoku).
