Yes, interesting especially since she looks like 14(although according to her bio she was 20 at the time). Plus it show's the Japanese approval of older man and younger females. Though the female was the one in power in the scene as she seduces the man.

This post is a bit sexually explicit, so don't read any further if you're squeamish that way. Regarding the egg-passing scene, anyone who has ever watched Japanese pornography is aware of their obsession with semen and the way it is used almost as a prop (going way beyond what is known in American porn as "the money shot.") Anyway, when the yakuza's girlfirend finally breaks the yolk and allows the yellow liquid to run out of her mouth and onto her white dress, it was very reminiscent of such scenes. And given the fact that Itami loves to pay homage to various film genres (westerns, gangster flicks etc.), it's possible that this was his nod to his country's unique style of pornography. (I will now sit back and relax while everyone call me a prevert.) In any case, I LOVED this movie it's only contender as a food-as-life allegory is "Eat, Drink, Man, Woman."

Also its important to note that the legal age is 14 in japan, so 14 year old nudity isnt illegal anyway.
Depends on where you're viewing and not where it's filmed Be very careful when making observations on law! -

You're right about the drunken shrimp. In that scene I'm fairly certain it is a form of sushi. The alcohol stuns the prawn and after it has finished squirming they take it out of the shell and eat it. YUMMY!
