Viewing Notes
Easily the least interesting of the trio of MBTS movies but props to Godfrey Ho for directing a movie with a logical narrative and decent storytelling, while still managing to cut and paste prodigiously from the previous film. This one inserts a love triangle, plus the woman’s father, into the atrocities of Unit 731, and winds the clock back to the early days of Japanese occupation of Manchuria in the mid-30s.
