Shogun Warrior

SHOGUN WARRIOR presents an epic set in 17th-century Japan. One clan, led by the warlord Takugawa Ieyasu (Toshiro Mifune), is locked in a bloody feud with a rival clan. Ieyasu decides that the only way to achieve victory is to send a band of soldiers to Spain to obtain flintlock muskets that will fire even when wet. To this end, Mayeda (Sho Kosugi), Ieyasu's most trusted samurai, leads a party to appeal to the King of Spain (Christopher Lee). However, their difficult journey is plagued by treachery.... The film features spectacular action sequences and an all-star cast, including Japanese film icon Mifune in one of his last screen appearances.

  Light, family entertainment.
  
  This is a weak swashbuckler made in a simple American style where culture, custom, history and the laws of physics are all ignored as the plot creaks and ... read more »

  swashbuckling adventure
  
  Nice to see Sho Kosugi back in action again, and David Essex is surprisingly good as an over-the-top villain.
