In an empire ruled by fear, the people's only hope is the ultimate weapon: Zatoichi (Takeshi Kitano) -- a blind, nomadic samurai whose sword has made him a hero and whose courage has made him a legend. Determined to help the desperate residents of a village, Zatoichi seeks justice through revenge. Inventive and bold, this film shines with its riveting action and breathtaking stunts.
Visually impaired but nonetheless lethal bounty hunter Cheng Xiazi (Xie Miao) happened upon the assaulted Ni Yan (Gao Weiman), the lone survivor of a brutal massacre that claimed her whole family. When it develops that the crimes came at the behest of connected criminals that wanted her brother silenced, the sightless swordsman goes outside his mandate to deliver justice. Xiang Hao, Liu Ben, Zhang Di also star. AKA InchDefiant.Inch 74 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack Mandarin; Subtitles English. In Mandarin with English subtitles.
As diligent as he was at practicing with his blade, it didn't change the fact that Sanshiro Yuzuki (Osamu Sakai) had neither the skill nor the confidence to excel. When his samurai father was slain by a cloaked gang of thieves, the grieving son was approached by an otherworldly spirit (Tokio Oki) offering him an edge for vengeance-a potion that would render him invisible. Laugh-leavened, underseen (sorry) action-fantasy co-stars Yoko Atsuta, Sanshi Katsura. 78 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack Japanese; Subtitles English; audio commentary; featurettes; image gallery. In Japanese with English subtitles.
