Zatoichi, motherfucka! Put this on late last night on the quest to finally finish my Zatoichi box set. Man, this was another badass one. It starts with a bloodshed scene. Literally, Zatoichi strikes
a bully and a bloody fountain erupts. That was the only blood spraying scene in this movie but there were a lot of other awesome battles. As with every other Zatoichi film, Zatoichi wanders into another village full of trouble. This time he is targeted by a group of fugitives who are hiding for a few days. Zatoichi saves a female servant from a yakuza, kills a random snake, and drinks sake with his enemies. The usual. He comes very close in getting killled in this one. Zatoichi is golden though.
