The interviews with two of the native actors & revisiting past filming locations was gold but Waddell drops the ball the second half of the doc with his off tangent theories.

Full throttle yakuza absurdity filled with a lethal dose of gunplay & over the top characters. The power of love is strong with this one.

Lead actor Yoji Tanaka (Yuji Noda) brings it, his character has had it with being scammed by coworkers, family & a possible love interest. Watching Yoji's daily life was engaging, highlighting Japanese culture in over the top but hilarious scenes. Ok, Eihi Shiina has a few cameos in this early on, it was awesome.

When crap hits the fan, things really progress, there is some outer space shenanigans, a forced quarantine zone, gallons of Nishimura-san's iconic blood geysers and boobs! This long awaited sequel won me over, the visual barrage of insanity was a beautiful thing, the droplets of crimson became infinity, I couldn't stop watching. The ending was a low blow but yet a calculated liver shot, who knows? I was happy.
