The Invincible Super Chan: Viewer Comments

Even though this is an early 70s martial arts period piece, it feels like one of those old Sergio Corbucci spaghetti westerns. The film has a very gritty look to it (or it could just be the print) even in the outdoor daylight scenes - just like a spaghetti western. This is the type of film you don't want to think too hard about, you just want to sit back and wallow in the outrageous fight scenes. Check out the fight scene that starts close to the thirty minute mark. The hero has accepted a duel and is on his way to keep the appointment. The bad guys are stationed all over the mountain region this guy has to get through in order to get to the location of the duel. Also, his sword was taken from him the night before, so he's walking into this barehanded. Our hero goes up against wave after wave of bad guy in order to keep his appointment that the fight ventures into the surreal. Think of the final fight scene in the third "Lone Wolf & Cub" film where Ogami goes up against all manner of samurai and mows them all down and you get a small idea of how the fight goes. All in all, a fun, bloody little film.
