About the film
Following its record-shattering predecessor, Saving Shuli San reunites Israeli comedy icons Tzion Baruch (Avihu), Shalom Michaelshvili (Nati), and Asi Israelof (Betzalel) in their most absurd adventure yet. When Shuli (David Shaul) is snatched by the Yakuza in Tokyo, the charismatic trio teams up with the sharp and scene-stealing Emma Medding as Shuli’s Tokyo boss, plus a delightfully unpredictable female android, to chase him across Japan. Packed with slapstick comedy, unforgettable chemistry, and laugh-out-loud set pieces, this film delivers nonstop fun from ninjas to fish-out-of-water culture shocks. It’s a joyful, high-energy blend of action and humor that keeps audiences laughing and keeps box offices booming.
