I gotta say this sequel to the 1st Hanzo flick is even better since they up the blood-spraying content and the perversion content. The most remarkable scene to me is where our hero rapes a woman just because she's nervous that she might get raped. Amazingly this calms her right down due to the magical power of Hanzo's mighty meat. It's not hard to see why some of the more feminist-leaning people I know are not fans of the Pinku-style of Japanese cinema after watching something like this but personally I found it all quite entertaining in it's obvious over-the-top sleaziness. You also get an insane abortion-performing lady, a Buddhist priestess who gets tortured and then raped, some bondage & discipline and some of the more typical trappings of a samurai-type film thrown in there. Also there's a strong anti-authoritarian streak that runs throughout these films which I find pretty atypical of Asian cinema for the most part. Can't wait to watch part 3.
