Not Gosha's best but still a fun movie. Tange Sazen is somewhat of a serial hero in japanese fiction and many actors have played him over the years. Nakamura plays him with a kinda crazed humor and Gosha's movies are known for their sex and violence. I have to give it to Hulu for bringing more great films of the samurai genre onboard. Other Hideo Gosha worth checking out: GOYOKIN, THREE OUTLAW SAMURAI, SWORD OF THE BEAST, SAMURAI WOLF 1 & 2, HUNTER IN THE DARK, HITOKIRI and my personal favorite BANDITS VS. SAMURAI SQUAD. Gosha is also known for some great yakuza and giesha flicks. I hope you have fun with this bawdy anti-hero tale, enjoy!

The plot had a lot of holes in it, and in the end the viewer is still left wondering about the secret of the urn. The acting was out of a second rate soap opera and the choreography for the sword fights was fair at best. Yet, the supporting characters were interesting and movie was enjoyable.
