Intriguing martial arts drama, notable for Shintaro Katsu's engaging performance and a narrative where a failure to communicate leads to tragedy.

Don't listen to them: Zatoichi is great!
The print isn't good and the subtitles appear to have been written by someone who doesn't speak English but this is still a great film to watch. Worth making allowances for the dodgy ex-rental vhs which they used for the transfer to dvd.

Zatoichi Meets The One Armed Swordsman
Takeshi Kitano's remake of Zatoichi last year gave the property a new lease of life. Delve into the archives and discover all these vintage gems. The One Armed Swordsman is undoubtedly one of the best in the series!
