Bîchibarê deka: Nazo no kôchi o tsuiseki seyo!

Beach Volleyball Detectives - Part 2 follows on directly from Part 1 and, if anything, is even more boring since it repeats several scenes from the first film in their entirety. As before, the Beach Volleyball Detectives - Haruka, Wakana, Keiko, and Mitsuyo - try to prevent a group of terrorists (led by the mysterious Black Sun) from detonating a nuclear device, while taking time out to compete in the World Volleyball Tournament against other nations (who are all played by Japanese women).

It goes without saying (but I will anyway) that there's lot's of gratuitous shots of the girls jiggly bits as they bat the ball over the net, but once again this is rendered surprisingly dull by the weak direction, abysmal CGI, and general cheapness of the production. Sexy Haruka Ogura, who plays Haruka, is particularly appealing, and the other BVDs are pretty enough, but trust me when I say that that the film is no day at the beach, no matter how attractive the girls.

1.5 out of 10, rounded up to 2 for featuring a flying guillotine volleyball (albeit a reeaaallyy badly animated one).
