Kamui Gaiden

A lone warrior wanders the world trying to keep the ninja clan he left behind from finding him and kicking his butt. His travels lead him to a secluded fishing village where he begins to realize his dream of a life at peace, a dream that is shattered when a band of pirates invade the village. The story gets a little confusing at times, but director Yoichi Sai does a pretty good job of pacing the action so we never really have time to think about the logic of the plot too much. By the time you get to the part where the pirates go shark hunting --- and use their kung fu to kill the gigantic man-eaters – any worries you have about where the story is heading should fade away in the fun you will be having.
