Ansatsu Shirei - 1984 - Color - Fullscreen - DVD Extras
Another superb performance by major star Takahashi Hideki as a graceful ronin swords-
man highlights this violent tale of old Japan. The ronin, Sako Kanbei has to rescue the
beautiful Princess Tsubaki from danger while young samurai of the Numata Clan stand up
against their corrupt Chief Retainer and evil clan mistress. Kanbei wants to develop his
swordsmanship only for himself, he finds that he has been implicated in a crime and must
fight for justice in the ultimate battle to redeem his innocence. The swordplay in this film is
reminiscent of the Lone Wolf and Cub series with its brutal and extended action
sequences and awesome finale. A powerful motion picture about honor, love and cold
steel! Directed by: KUDO Eiichi
Cast: TAKAHASHI Hideki, MIYAZAKI Yoshiko, NATSUYAGI Isao
