Fifty years after "Phantom Blood," Jonathan Joestar's grandson Joseph Joestar investigates rumors about Speedwagon's death, ultimately becoming entangled with the revival of the Pillar Men, ancient humanoids of impossible power who are tied to the creation of the Stone Mask. Joseph ultimately teams up with Caesar Zeppeli, Will's grandson, and Caesar's teacher Lisa Lisa, who is linked to Joseph. They try to stop the Pillar Men led by Kars and AC/DC from obtaining a mystical artifact in Lisa Lisa's possession that will grant them complete immortality and bring about the end of the world.
Reviews
If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
