Once again¸ Tsurugi accepts an assignment from the mob and¸ once again¸ his scruples get the better of him when the job requires him to kill Masaoka(Masafumi Suzuki¸ the rotund-but-deadly karate instructor from the first film). There’s something of a subplot involving a disgraced cop who helps Tsurugi and Masaoka take on the mob’s seemingly endless supply of minions¸ but for the most part¸ this sequel is far more exaggerated and cartoonish than the film that preceded it. The direction¸ acting¸ and dubbing are sloppy as all hell¸ but that’s easy to forgive in a movie like this; it’s so much fun that you can’t dislike it! Ratnose died in the last film¸ so Tsurugi’s sidekick this time around is a really annoying young woman who dresses in pseudo-hippie fashion and says ”cat” and ”daddy-o” a lot(as it turns out¸ she’s also working for the bad guys¸ but her scruples get the better of her¸ too). You thought Ratnose was a pain in the ass¸ but this chick is something else again and it’s hard to muster any sympathy for her when she dies.
