There’s nothing really new about his 60′s kung fu spectacle with the notable exception that the hero of the piece isn’t your usual good-looking hunk. In fact, Samanosuke (Kinnisuke Nakamura) is a one-eyed, one-armed samurai with a really bad attitude. When he finds himself at the center of a battle between two warring clans searching for an urn full of money, he decides to take everybody on and keep the money for himself. The action is pretty standard for this kind of flick, but the joy that Nakamura has playing such a bad good guy makes it worth watching.
