Basically, this movie introduces a couple of young gangs that are more or less controlled by Yakuza clans that get involved in quite brutal battles. That's not a very smart move form the director. Those who haven't seen the first movie will get mixed up and feel frustrated while those who have seen the first strike might feel bored. Instead of making the movie clearer, these passages harm the already irregular flow of this sequel. In addition to that, the director also included a few flashbacks to the first movie. There are way too many characters, too many names and too many issues in this film. It's also quite hard to follow this movie as it's the case for many Takashi Miike movies.

First of all, this movie lacks of a coherent story line and includes too many side stories that are not very interesting and add sometimes even an unnecessary slapstick touch to the movie. The reason why it fails is the story itself. As you can see, this movie has quite some potential. Some actors also stand out with their very own style: we have the weird guy with a big scar in form of a cross on his cheek that has ugly teeth, we have a cool blond haired young Gangster and a brutal androgynous guy who looks harmless and is rather silent but turns out to be a brutal maniac. The clothes of the different gangs are all very distinctive, too. The dark and dirty streets, underground bars and other obscure locations are very well chosen as well. The gang locations in form of abandoned skyscrapers or schools in desperate Suburbs of big cities are quite original and have some charm by showing us the ugly face of Japan. Another positive aspect are the settings and decorations. If you are a fan of that kind of music, you should get your Hands on the soundtrack instead of the movie itself. A couple of bands even perform live in this movie in a cool underground bar. As always, the music in this movie is great and introduces us once more into the Japanese alternative rock scene. Nevertheless, there are a few strong points in this Takashi Miike movie.

I think that this movie is only interesting for those who had really enjoyed the first part. But if you produce a lot of films, the risk is rather elevated that some of them are filler material and this is also the case for 'Crows Zero II'. Takshi Miike is without a doubt one of the most productive directors in the world and one of the most famous personalities in the contemporary Japanese Cinema along with Takeshi Kitano.
