| Overview: | The first film in the notorious Razor trilogy, by manga legend Kazuo Koike, introduces Hanzo "The Razor" Itami (Shintaro Katsu), a renegade samurai cop whose investigative methods are only slightly more extreme than his sexual prowess. His refusal to sign a constabulary oath that his code of honor cannot accept puts him on a collision course with his corrupt superior and on the case of the Shogunate. With the loyal assistance of two former criminals, Hanzo defies orders, takes on all comers, and leaves female suspects begging for more. Known as screen icon Zatoichi: The Blind Swordsman, Katsu produced this series along with "Lone Wolf And Cub", also by Koike and starring Katsu's brother, Tomisaburo Wakyama. Geysers of blood and graphic sexual content make Hanzo "The Razor" one of the most outrageous outlaws of samurai cinema.
