The Executioner 2: The Karate Inferno (1974)

Director: Teruo Ishii

Sonny Chiba reprises his role as Ryuichi Koga, one third of a veritable "super group" of professional thieves. Teamed once again with his goofy cohorts Haybusa and Sakura, Koga and crew set out to rescue a disabled dignitary's kidnapped daughter and her stolen pendant which, according to a representative from a shady insurance company, is literally worth billions.

The Executioner 1 is here.

Exploitation cinema at its most laughable, The Executioner II is painfully 1970s: bad suits, aviator glasses, chain smoking, and the whole nine. The Japanese twist on the genre is fairly diluted. Overall, it is a very Western-styled film, modern in direction, humor, and irrelevant amounts of nudity. Truthfully, The Executioner II is less a martial arts film and more a caper film like The Italian Job full of James Bond-style suaveness and espionage. Forget any pretext about Koga being a ninja here. He is basically a spy for hire now, dancing through the city like a badly dressed gangster, fighting bad guys with a porno soundtrack playing in the background. All done for laughs, mind you; this film doesn't have a serious bone in its body…

The special effects are horrendous. Of particular note are some laughably awkward airplane and helicopter sequences in which characters are superimposed in front of some of the lousiest blue screen work you will ever see. As for fight sequences, you can forget about it. As mentioned, the film eschews those in favor of stupid comedy, seriously challenging the film's kick-ass namesake. Still, Karate Inferno earns its name with some decent sequences towards the end and people hurled off rooftops. Unfortunately, all the capering and heisting of the film wastes an hour out of an 85-minute film, which doesn't leave much time for the bone-breaking.
