Better than Kill Bill? Yup. It's got a bigger storyline, and it's The Tale of Zatoichi (Zatoichi Monogatari, dir. Kenji Misumi, 1962), Zatoichi: The Blind Swordsman's Return (Shin Zatoichi Monogatari, dir. Kazuo Mori, 1963), Zatoichi and the One Armed Swordsman (Shin Zatoichi: Yabure! Tojin-ken, dir. Kimiyoshi Yasuda, 1971), and Zatoichi in Desperation (Shin Zatoichi Monogatari: Oreta Tsue, 1972). These classic movies in one, renewed. The movie is about a samurai village. But it's not as dramaticly told like The Last Samurai. The movie doesn't show Zatoichi that much tho, it's about "the One Armed Swordsman" too. A great swordsman who will take on Zatoichi in the end. I like The Last Samurai like how the story's told. And I like Zatoichi because of the intense scenes. They're really violent, but the fight scenes aren't that long. It's realistic samurai fighting and the blind samurai-esque tops it off.  BTW, enter this site for some fight scenes : www.zatoichi-lefilm.com/

I think I saw an little known American movie set in the Wild West that was a Zatoichi remake, about a blind gunman. Sadly, I can't remember the name of it. It was crap, at any rate.

Got the soundtrack, it's wordt the buy. Still...festivo is the best song on it, that's the song you hear on the site. They should have made that song 2 hours long, it's too short.

Hell yeah, she was hot. The friggin transvestite was like...ugh...though. The ending was just ROFLMAO, with Zatoichi having his eyes open, you know what i'm talking about seiryu.
