    5 out of 5 stars Fantasy Samurai film.......2007-01-29

    The film is not the typical samurai flick but instead it is a fantasy samurai, vampire-gore film. The legend of the eight samurai is a story about the satomi clan being cursed by evil. The evil is after the surviving satomi's clan princess to consume the princess skin so that they can enhance their beauty and offer the princess blood to their master. The princess only hope are the eight samurai who in karma each behold a magic ball crystal from the princess fukei hundred years ago. Each of the eight samurai came from adversity through either isolation, loneliness, and lose. Soon their life change when they found out that their hope and destiny lies on the princess.

    The storyline is oustanding with great cast deliviring a solid performance. In addition, the special effect is great for its time. There is a quote on the back cover of the dvd that says "The Star Wars of Samurai Films" and indeed it is.

    Adness provide us with high quality release of the film that made the original american version a waste of a classic film.

    Grade: B+ Highly recommended!

    5 out of 5 stars A COMEDY CLASSIC.......2006-01-22

    This film is comedy gold! How can anyone not like Sonny Chiba films? This film has incredibly hilarious action scenes even if that was not the intention of the film makers. If it makes me laugh its good! Come on Giant Centipede! A flying Snake! The whole group of bad guys akwardly laughing on top of a mountian, for what reason you dont know! If your not the serious type and you want a good laugh this is it. A whole PILE of CHEESE!!

    1 out of 5 stars Not great!.......2005-10-24

    This film is about a Japense princess who escapes from her clan rivals, who mets up with bunch of samuri's who tries to protect her from the bad people. The kid from the movie Reincarnation of the Samuri is in this film. He was aful in that film and he is aful in this film. This movie has some very bad acting in it, and the actions in this movie was not very impressive. Only interesting character in this movie was the Rival dark prince who was very into taking females skin and use it as his own skin. You do not see this actually happing, though, you just hear him talk about it.
