Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

Watch out! Comedy meets art-house meets porn. It is advertised on the DVD as a "bizarre trip into the hell of sex". Takeshi visits his nephew; he suffers from Insomnia and whenever he get sleepy, he has the irresistible drive to have sex. For unknown reasons, all women he proposes to (including his nephews girlfriend) cannot resist either. Nor does the nephew mind, since he's busy with his attempt to catch a big squid that was recently seen nearby in the ocean. That's why their home is filled with squid all over. Spoiler to follow: Did I mention all the protagonists end up in hell? If you ever stayed in a cheap hotel overnight, you may have thought it looks like hell – and this film will convince you that you were in fact right! A very strange film with lots of weirdness on the one hand and graphic sexual scenes on the other. Not "different" enough to be a masterpiece, but it can still be enjoyed, sort of.
