Lowbrow Silliness
Words I would use to describe this movie:
Zany. Madcap. Gory. Cartoonish. Babe-a-licious. Ultra-low-budget. Corny.
I don't recall the first one being so ridiculous. There's kind of a plot, but not really. There's kind of an antagonist, but not really. The stakes are high, sort of. To be honest, I can't really think of a reason to recommend this movie to you. You'll likely be disappointed if you enjoyed the first one. It pains me to say that, because I have a fondness for all things Troma. One gets the sense from watching this movie that it's a movie in search of an idea; perhaps that explains why there are 5 writers credited under "additional material written by." It definitely seems like the kind of script where people were throwing riffs in around an idea instead of there being one or two people with a clear vision of the story.
Tons of beautiful Japanese girls in the movie (including Mayako Katsuragi), plus the uber-sexy, innocently naughty Phoebe Legere.
You may find it charming, as I did. There isn't anything memorable here. There are some funny kills.
