| MUCH BETTER THAN THE FIRST! This sequel is more violent and bloody. However, for those yearning for lots of bloodshed action, don't. The film does have a little more action than the first "Wandering Ginza Butterfly" but probably not enough to keep action film lovers afloat. The final fight, however, was a lot better and a little longer than the first.
The premise of the film is much better as well, as it's a revenge flick throughout. Meiko is on a quest to avenge the death of her father and so forth. She meets the goofball Sonny Chiba (MY HERO!!!!!!) and some other losers to help on her quest. The theme of this movie is gambling, so expect lots of that as well. The satire is exceptionally well done--not to everyone's tastes but it isn't annoying either.
I'm going out on a limb and recommending this one 'cause it's simple, fun entertainment. However, since I felt the premise was much better, the violence is better, and there's more of it, and I want Meiko NOW even if she's an old crusty 800 million year old chick (and while I'm at it, I'll hump King Tut as well!!!!!), I liked this film. |
