山田日後承認在開拍此片之前,已心諳渥美清的肺病步入末期,決定此章為最後一章,並安排由淺丘瑠璃子演的莉莉送寅次郎踏上人生的最後一程。分別15年後,兩人於如詩如畫的奄美大島重逢,感情依舊,鬥氣繼續,沒完沒了似的。正如山田所想,雖然系列必須完結,但始終不想為寅次郎的故事/人生劃上句號。結局如常開放,代表寅一直繼續他的旅程,日本人依然有夢。
公映後翌年,渥美清病逝,享年68歲,本片亦成為他的遺作。
Yamada knew before production began that Atsumi's health has deteriorated to such an extent that Tora-san to the Rescue would be the last film in the series. He decided to let Lily accompany Tora on his last trip. The lovers reunite after fifteen years in the picturesque Amami O Shima, and the affections as well as the bickering remain. Although the series must come to its conclusion, Yamada has deliberately left the film's ending open, so as not to let the curtain fall on "Tora-san". Atsumi Kiyosh passed away at the age of 68 in the year following the film's release, making this film his last.。《全裸監督》裸露演出而一鳴驚人的森田望智日劇初主演,《那孩子出生了…》(あの子が生まれる・・・)劇本由《七夜怪談》(午夜凶鈴)原作者鈴木光司原創,以郊區一家以產科為主的醫院為舞台。 故事講述「新生醫院」於當地努力服務,得到很多人喜愛,但以某事件為契機而開始崩潰,逐漸墮入黑暗之中,相關的人錯綜複雜地為了地位、名譽、慾望、嫉妒而糾纏在一起,在這衰退中的醫院,誕生了一隻美麗的怪物,很可能是這世上最可怕的人。。
