It is the second installment of a trilogy of films based on the manga Karate Baka Ichidai (literal title: "The Fanatical Karate Generation") by Ikki Kajiwara, Jiro Tsunoda and Jōya Kagemaru.

In the film, a piece of grindhouse cinema, Sonny Chiba reprises his role from Champion of Death as Masutatsu Oyama, the historical founder of Kyokushin karate in Japan (Oyama makes a cameo appearance in the film as well). Chiba was an interesting choice for the role, as he had studied martial arts under the real-life Oyama for several years. True to the film's title, at one point in the course of the narrative he battles a "bear", actually a human actor in a bear costume.
