Zatoichi – Festival Of Fire
A legendary figure in Japan is Zatoichi- the blind masseur with healing hands and a swift sword.
In a town where women are bought and sold Zatoichi stumbles upon a secret organisation headed by the Dark Lord Yamikubo. Also blind, Yamikubo befriends Zatoichi. Soon, a chance encounter with two beautiful women might spell the end of Zatoichi – as both a jealous husband and the town's Yakuza now want his head.
Critic Reviews:
- " This is the 21st film and offers some of the best swordplay yet, by Katsu of course but also Tatsuya Nakadai who delivers an impressive performance and who's swordplay is stellar. " – Chris B
- " It's a hilarious and exciting scene that plays to all of Zatoichi's strengths. There's also a memorable climax, with Zatoichi being in love once again and a final confrontation that comments on the jealousy of man. Consider this a “must watch” of the series. " – Luke B
