The film features Show Aikawa reprising his leading role from the original, and also stars Riisa Naka and Masahiro Inoue The film's tagline is "Let's get ready to fight!" (白黒つけるぜ! Shirokuro tsukeru ze!), a pun as it contains the kanji for "white" (白 shiro?) and "black" (黒 kuro) The film has done poorly in Japanese box offices, which may be due to the film's theme of a religious war with the antagonists as analogies of the Happy Science movement in Japan.
