 |  |  |  |  This is a good ol' samurai parody/satirical movie. The storyline is nothing complex but the pacing is done rather well and keeps you entertained throughout the whole movie. Clearly shows the virtues of honor, respect, love, avoiding killing, and redemption. The only real flaw I can find is developing more of Kazamatsuri's reasoning behind stealing the sword. Granted he does explain his reasons, but I just didn't feel as compelled to sympathize his reasons. It is shot rather well, blending elements of color, black and white, and a red screen. Fans of the chambara/jidaigeki genre will like. | | LOG IN TO COMMENT ON THIS REVIEW! |

 |  |  |  |  An okay samurai flick, obviously intended as a kind of stylized 60's jidai geki with modern touches. Obsessed with trying to be "cool", the film's constant self-awareness is somewhat annoying. Everyone seems to spend so much time standing around going "look at me, I'm in a samurai movie, I'm cool" that not enough good stuff actually happens. *shrugs* | | LOG IN TO COMMENT ON THIS REVIEW! |

 |  |  |  |  This is a funny but respectful film. Mostly for fans of samurai movie drama. In B&W to give it that 70's feel. It is well made and easy to watch with stock type characters who are still very human. | | LOG IN TO COMMENT ON THIS REVIEW! |

 |  |  |  |  I saw this movie three years ago on French TV, very late in the night after hard work at day, and only the last 30 minutes! But I remember it is an EXCELLENT movie. I bought the DVD (Korean Edition) a week ago and this time, I can recommend you this DVD. You will love the movie, you will love the soundtrack and all actors and actress are very excellent. And Tamaki Ogawa is a very very beautiful girl in her old Japanese kimono. In a word: buy this DVD !
