BIG BOOBS BUSTER 2: ADVENTURE SUMMER (1990) ** ½

Two Japanese schoolgirls follow a chesty classmate into a magical portal.  Once inside, they are transported to a weird island inhabited by a variety of oddballs.  There, the gals are almost cooked alive by a tribe of cannibals and get chased by a female flamenco dancer who throws exploding roses.  Elsewhere, a mad scientist uses a ray to enlarge women’s bust lines. 

As far as I can figure, Big Boobs Buster 2:  Adventure Summer is completely unrelated to the first film.  It also has a lot more plot, which isn’t exactly a good thing when the copy you’re watching doesn’t have any subtitles.  While it does continue the superhero theme which made the original so endearing, it also adopts a manic, grab bag, everything-but-the-kitchen-sink kind of approach.  While some of this is admittedly inspired, needless to say, the results are decidedly mixed. 

There’s also less nudity here than in the original, which is a tad disappointing, but what we do get is pretty entertaining.  There’s a T & A music video where a pop idol has a wardrobe malfunction in front of her fans (who are all mimes for some reason) and a segment with a topless firebreather.  That’s just enough to compensate for some of the various missteps along the way.

I will say this:  Big Boobs Buster 2 sure does cram a lot into its seventy minutes running time.  However, the overreliance on cheap looking special effects (which resemble something out of a ‘90s music video) gets to be a bit much at times.  Still, there are some winning moments sprinkled here and there.  For instance, I liked the scene where our heroine used a super plunger to stab a bad girl in her boobs.  And besides, the scene where two superheroines shoot lasers out of their boobs at one another is almost worth the price of admission.  Almost.
