zatoichi meets yojimbo (1970)


aka Zatôichi to Yôjinbô.
"We don't see too many good amma around here."
Tired of killing, Ichi (Shintarô Katsu) heads to a village he remembers for its tranquility, to recoop. Unfortunately since his last visit it has been overrun with gangsters overseen by Boss Masagoro (Masakane Yonekura) and his enforcer Yojimbo (Toshiro Mifune). A father/son feud, and a rumoured stash of stolen gold hidden somewhere in the village complicate matters further and make sure that Ichi far from having a peaceful time, stumbles instead into trouble...
The series sees the arrival of another famous character to reinvigorate the storyline. What we get is a good if not great installment.
