It starts when our girl takes pause from eating her apple to interfere in a gang killing. The guy she saves dies anyway. He was a police officer who gave her evidence. It all leads to diamond smugglers and other stuff so she is off on her mission.
From the start the bad guys are trying to kill her. Nothing is realistic about that goal. All of the attacks against her are showcased as demonstrations of various martial styles. The fights are even labeled by style. Nevertheless, all the styles look the same. Many weapons are also used. There is also the expected acrobatics and trampoline stunts.
Our girl, Etsuko Shihomi, as Koryu, fights without Sonny Chiba's help in this movie. Kurata does have a big fight scene though.
Overall, the movie follows the formula of taking the first movie and doing the same things a bit bigger and better. I rate it a tad above average for the year and genre.
