The success of Truck Yaro 19751979 initiated a whole load of movies that put Yaro in their title including this semibonkers sports comedydrama Sonny Chibas brother Jiro Chiba stars as a Rugby player whose team must find a way to beat the opponent Its a standard storyline without any major surprises but works surprisingly well Training scenes are relatively nuts much better than the actual matches actually which tend to go on forever There is no sex nudity or graphic violence making this a family friendly affair Sonny Chiba appears for about 7 minutes during the last third as a truck driver who comes to Jiros rescue
