Miike's back with more pompadours, more punches, and somehow even MORE melodrama in leather jackets.
Genji and his victorious G.P.S. alliance find themselves facing down a new challenge by the students of Hosen Academy, feared by everyone as 'The Army of Killers.' The two schools, in fact, have a history of bad blood between them. And the simmering embers of hatred are about to flare up again, burning away any last remnants of the truce they had so rigorously observed until now.
Direction
Miike treats teen brawls like Kurosawa samurai showdowns. Respectfully unhinged.
Practical Effects
Real stunts, real impacts, real question: how did nobody die filming this?
Costume
Modified school uniforms so elaborate they deserve their own credit.
