Terrific films 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

I have always been a fan of Japanese cinema and came upon Zatoichi series a few years ago. I have never been disappointed with the films and was excited when I came across this box set. It was at a terrific price and includes a nice variety of the Zatoichi films. Shintaro, mixes pathos, comedy, strength and compassion, into his Zatoichi role and brings to life a character that you actually are drawn to. The difference between these films and many of the other "martial arts" films, by the way I don't really consider this a martial arts film, is that they spend as much time exploring the feelings and relationships of the characters. The plots have some depth to them and it's not always a case of good versus evil. So bottom line, terrific series and this set is a terrific way to get a introduction to the Zatoichi character.

Looks expensive, but it's not. 5 out of 5 stars.

The real pilgrimage 5 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

The fourteenth Zatoichi movie- Zatoichi's Pilgrimage a.k.a. Zatoichi's Ocean Voyage has long been impossible to purchase on DVD. The British DVD named Zatoichi's Pilgrimage was actually what we know as Zatoichi: The Outlaw.

This is the one you are looking for -- if it is the one you're for which you are looking -- the real fourteenth movie.

This is one of the more enjoyable of the series, and I am glad to see it finally sold. The edit is a high quality one.

The opening sequence regarding the shameless thief (I won't tell you more, as it would spoil your fun) acts as an object lesson which should be taught to CEO's of large companies, big time investors and political leaders.

Editorial Review:

In this 14th installment of the "Zatoichi" series, our reluctant warrior, Zatoichi (Shintaro Katsu), is ambushed by a gang of bandits, and is forced to kill a young man in self-defense. In an odd quirk of fate, Zatoichi meets his victim's sister, Okichi (Michiyo Yasuda), who attacks him in a fit of uncontrolled anger. Later, realizing that he had no choice in his actions, Okichi's conscience gets the better of her, and as she cares for Zatoichi's wounds, the two fall in love. However, the same thugs who ambushed Zatoichi, reappears in Okichi's town, and he is determined to help villagers defend themselves. Director: Kazuo Ikehiro Cast: Shintarô Katsu; Michiyo Ookusu; Kunie Tanaka

Editorial Review:

As the 26th installment in a popular film series that lasted 27 years, Zatoichi is essentially a "greatest hits" compendium of all the films that preceded it. That makes it essential viewing for Zatoichi fans and anyone interested in the voluminous "source code" for Quentin Tarantino's Kill Bill. Known in Japan as Zatoichi 26 or Zatoichi '89, this lavish production was the last to star Shintaro Katsu, who originated the title role of "the Blind Swordsman" in 1962's The Tale of Zatoichi and served triple-duty as writer and director of this stylishly violent latter-day adventure. Now much older and still a wandering loner, the blind, peace-loving masseur Ichi (or, in Japanese, Zato Ichi) seeks a quiet life among the gentle people of Edo Period villages, but when he's caught in a power struggle between rival Yakuza clans, his reputation as a deadly defender of the innocent precedes him, and he's forced to fend for himself in a series of sword-wielding showdowns. Between geysers of spurting crimson, this gorgeous Zatoichi film delivers good humor and mild sentiment, although series devotees were justifiably disappointed when the familiar plot failed to advance Zatoichi's legend in a middle-aged context. Still, the action sequences are frequent and fun, and despite controversy surrounding an accidental death during the climactic battle (for which Katsu's son, playing a villain, was ultimately found not guilty), this was a fitting farewell to Katsu's involvement in the franchise, which was revived once again with the successful release of Takeshi "Beat" Kitano's Zatoichi in 2003. --Jeff Shannon
