Description

ZATOICHI is the twenty-sixth and final chapter in the iconic samurai film franchise that starred Shintaro Katsu and spanned nearly three decades. Known in Japan as Zatoichi 26 or Zatoichi '89, this lavish production was the last to star Katsu, who originated the title role of "the Blind Swordsman" in 1962 and the only entry where he served as writer and director. Older, wiser but still a wandering loner, the blind, peace-loving masseur Ichi seeks a peaceful life in a rural village. When he's caught in the middle of a power struggle between two rival Yakuza clans, his reputation as a deadly defender of the innocent is put to the ultimate test in a series of sword-slashing showdowns.

Ist das wirklich der "Zatoichi"-Film von Takeshi Kitano oder ein anderer der über 25 Filme?
nett

ich habe ein Samurai-Epos erwartet, doch es ist "nur" eine nette kleine Samurai-Story, typisch Kitano, mit Blut und Humor. ich empfehle aber "twilight samurai" von yamada.

Du bist lächerlich, wenn du die Filme nur schon vergleichst... Genialer Streifen !
Blind Masseur!

Noch geiler als die sonst schon coole Serie. Für jeden Takeshi Fan ein MUSS! Ultra geile Tatoos, fette Schwert Kämpfe und ein Zatoichi vor dem man sich verneigen sollte. Kill Bill wirkt lächerlich dagegen.
