Featured review
This second film of the "Stray Cat Rock" collection begins with a small group of misfits driving around a beach in Japan and essentially having fun in their own reckless way. As it so happens, one particular member of the group named "Taki" (Takeo Chii) has a secret crush on a young woman named "Asako" (Bunjaku Han) but is too shy to do anything about it. So, in order to help him out, his friends go to great lengths to bring her to him. Although their attempt fails rather badly, Asako also just happens to have feelings for Taki and eventually the two get together. It's during this time that Asako discloses that she is the mistress of an influential executive within a religious cult and that she has information that will make all of them rich beyond their dreams--if they have the courage to act. Now, rather than reveal any more, I will just say that this film started off rather lethargically but picked up a bit at the mid-point and got a bit more interesting from there. Even so, I don't consider this to be quite as good as its predecessor and I have rated it accordingly. Average.
