This Movie Is About.
Wiki.
Sanshiro Sugata Part II (Japanese: 續姿三四郎, Hepburn: Zoku Sugata Sanshirō, a.k.a. Judo Saga II) is a 1945 Japanese action drama film written and directed by Akira Kurosawa.
The film is based on the novel by Tsuneo Tomita, son of Tomita Tsunejirō, the earliest disciple of judo. It was filmed in early 1945 in Japan towards the end of World War II. Unlike the original Sugata Sanshiro, the sequel is in part considered a propaganda film.
The film is believed by some to be the earliest known film sequel whose title is simply the original title followed by a number, predating the likes of Quatermass II (1957) by several years, although possibly mistaken as the added kanji 續 (Zoku) is not a numeral but simply means "Continuation" or "Sequel" sort of in the style of Another Thin Man or The Invisible Man Returns.
