Bandits Vs Samurai Squadron Hideo GoshaRated: Writer: Kaneo Ikegami, Shotaro Ikenami Date Added: 12 Jul 2007 Subtitles: ENDsubtitles-->Summary: A genre filmmaker excelled in samurai films, Gosha Hideo began his career in producing and directing action dramas and series in television in the sixties. BANDITS VS SAMURAI SQUADRON, made in the middle period of his career, is one of his most ambitious films. Spanning over ten years and with a complicated plot involving more than a dozen speaking parts, weaving a web of passionate love and spiteful vengeance, the film manages to be both highly entertaining and stylized. The story involves with a former samurai warrior who abandons his class to become the leader of a gang of bandits. He leads his outlaws in an attempt to rob the castle of his former clan to revenge for the destruction of his own family by the official whom they served.

| 127 | A Bloody Spear At Mount Fuji | Tomu Uchida | Kintaro Inoue, Shintarô Mimura, Fuji Yahiro | NR | 1955 | Chambara | |
A Bloody Spear At Mount Fuji Tomu UchidaRated: NR Writer: Kintaro Inoue, Shintarô Mimura, Fuji Yahiro Date Added: 07 Feb 2008 Languages: ENDlanguages-->Subtitles: English Summary: Uchida's comeback film is a key work of postwar Japanese cinema, and, like all of Uchida's work, is unavailable in North America. (As Craig Watts notes at the end of his important essay on the film, "Either a trip to Japan or saintly patience is in order" to see it; now we can at least reward the latter.) As decisively as Kurosawa before him, Uchida broke the conventions of the chambara (sword fight film) with his witty, loose-limbed A BLOODY SPEAR AT MT. FUJI, about a samurai delivering a tea cup to Edo. SPEAR marks Uchida's postwar return to Japanese cinema and to progressive principles, but its homecoming is strikingly ambivalent in its values. As Craig Watts has written, "Both progressive and nostalgic, humanistic and nationalistic, peaceful and violent, BLOOD SPEAR, MT. FUJI, like the Japanese experience in Manchuria, is an aggressive conglomeration of extremes." From its shambling "on the road" opening, scored with jaunty jazz and enlivened by a flagrantly artificial setting and proliferation of incident, to its SHANE-like ending, the film takes in a remarkable range of characters and classes, of tones and traditions. Full of subplots and spin-offs, scatology, sentimentality, and social satire, this simple tale becomes a sprawling epic whose culmination - a fight to the death amongst gushing sake barrels - shocked the Japanese audiences of its time with its sheer vehemence. This was Uchida's first work with the great period star, Chiezo Kataoka, who appeared here with his son and daughter, Motoharu Ueki and Chie. "A fine period drama with lyricism, humour, and violent emotion" (Tadao Sato).

Lady Snowblood Toshiya FujitaRated: NR Writer: Kazuo Uemura, Kazuo Koike Date Added: 17 Oct 2007 Languages: English, Japanese Subtitles: English Sound: Dolby Digital 2.0 Picture Format: Widescreen Summary: A flamboyantly blood-spattered samurai revenge picture with a twist: the implacable seeker of retribution is a slender female (Meiko Kaji) with a flawless ivory complexion and a dead-center killer stare. Born in prison, Snowblood is raised by a martial priest and trained to fulfill a single purpose: tracking down, and dismembering (or bisecting), the four cackling fiends who killed her father and persecuted her mother to an early grave. Adapted from another "manga" comic book written by Kasuo Koike, whose most famous work became the legendary "Lone Wolf and Cub" film series, this 1973 programmer stays close to its pulp-paper roots: images from the comics are deployed in a couple of montage sequences, and the story is divided into four chapters drawn from the monthly "manga" installments. Stalwart leading man Toshio Kurasawa plays a crusading journalist who writes a series of Japanese dime novels based on Snowblood's exploits, and manages to flush out a couple of the evildoers in the process.

Lone Wolf and Cub 1: Sword of Vengeance Kenji MisumiRated: NR Writer: Kazuo Koike, Goseki Kojima Date Added: 04 Apr 2007 Languages: English, Japanese Subtitles: English Picture Format: Widescreen Summary: "Child and expertise for rent," reads the banner flying from the wooden cart of rogue samurai Itto Ogami (Tomisaburo Wakayama). With his infant son and a baby carriage stocked with a veritable arsenal in tow, Ogami rents his services for 500 pieces of gold while awaiting his revenge on the corrupt clan that murdered his wife. Director Kenji Misumi draws his distinctive graphic style from the legendary manga series written by Kazuo Koike (who adapted his own work for the screen) and adds an inspired cinematic device: when Ogami enters battle, the world falls silent, literally, until his sword strikes. The fights are savage--blades slash, limbs fly, and blood spurts like geysers--yet the film relaxes in moments of serenity and tenderness as the cooing baby boy marvels at the wonder of the world. An essential of Japanese action cinema, it launched a classic six-film series. "--Sean Axmaker"
