Viewing Notes

Also known as Bodyguard Kiba II. Chiba is back as Kiba but this time he gets himself jailed for fighting a karate duel against a competing dojo during which his plucky little sister gets seriously injured and he exacts revenge. After getting out of prison he gets work as a bodyguard for a shady nightclub owner and his shadier partners and lots of fights, drug use and rape occurs as per usual, until the final battle in weirdly disparate yet abandoned outdoor locations, which may be my favorite part of the whole thing! I really love his sister played by Maki Mizuhara. Too bad she wasn’t in more films.
