Description:
The 1999 theatrical feature of You're Under Arrest turns the rather tame "fan service" comedy into a straightforward cop movie. After a year of training in other areas of police work, Miyuki and Natsumi return to Bokuto Police Station. In the broadcast series and specials, they went after panty thieves and peeping toms. This time, a gang of terrorists has obtained the plan for a simulated attack created for police training--and they're putting it into action. Instead of the usual showers and locker room scenes, director Junji Nishimura offers outrageous chase sequences involving patrol cars, motorcycles, boats, and helicopters. Miyuki and Natsumi save the day, but the fast-paced action can't quite cover the gaping holes in the plot. The terrorists are thwarted, but never identified, and no one explains how attacking a small Tokyo police station is tied to sabotaging global financial institutions.
