Zatoichi strikes again. Once again, people don't learn about not messing with this blind swordsman, but we need fights and showdowns, so keep them coming. This has my favorite theme: revenge. Zatoichi visits a village to pay respect to his massage instructor only to find out that he's been murdered. Not only that, the instructor's daughter and other women are being forced into prostitution by yakuzas. Well, this is a job for Zatoichi. Every time he goes to a village, his job is to set order and make things good again. After the job is done, he leaves with the wind. This movie is as just as good as the others, except, this also features some good western music and over 50 kills. Oh yeah! Thought I was watching a spaghetti western there for a second.
Another Zatoichi movie bites the dust. 3 more to go this year.
