Ryoko Itakura (Nobuko Miyamoto) is one of the top tax investigators in the Japanese government, unafraid to take on even the roughest characters who have been accused of committing tax fraud. When she investigates a religious cult called Heaven's Path, however, she finds a new nemesis in the cult's leader, Teppei Onizawa (Rentarô Mikuni). As Teppei and his wife, Kinu (Haruko Kato), bask in their billions of ill-begotten funds, Ryoko must find a way to ensnare the well-connected crooks.

(*** 1/2): [img]http://images.rottentomatoes.com/images/user/icons/icon14.gif[/img] I was surprised that I actually had even more fun with this sequel than the original film. Another good film from Itami.

A light-hearted comedy featuring very loveable Nobuko Miyamoto. One of my Japanese favourites directed by Nobuko's husband, Juzo Itami. A catchy score too!
