Although "Oppai Volleyball" is created in the usual fashion of the indie Japanese film, nevertheless, its central concept makes for a movie that stands apart from the plethora of similar ones.
Mikako is a newly transferred teacher at a junior high school. Excited for her new job she volunteers to coach the boys volley club. However, she soon realizes that she has been assigned a bunch of lazy teenagers whose main concern is to peep at girls.

Sabu penned and directed a parody of both Yakuza and crime-solving films, including a number of themes and characters that lie somewhere between the hilarious and the preposterous. The National Hitman Qualification Tournament is a clear example of this, with all the participants looking like Chow Yun Fat in "A Better Tomorrow" except one who is the spitting image of Leon, from the homonymous French film. Another example is the dialogue Sawaki has with Joe regarding the profession of contract killer and its difficulties.
Shinichi Tsutsumi as Sawaki and Ren Osugi as Joe are great in their parts, with their biggest achievement being that they appear utterly serious among all the nonsensical incidents and dialogues that occur. Lastly, it is extremely funny to watch Susumu Terajima, who has made a career by portraying Yakuza, to act as a police officer.
