the challenge (1982)

"Let's give them a little fun, show them what a fighter you used to be!"
Rick (Scott Glenn) is a boxer on the ropes, and down on his luck, when he is offered a courier job, delivering a samurai sword to Japan. As usual, this turns out to be more complicated than it first seems, and Rick learns about the strangely codified world of the Japanese samurai classes, and becomes determined to live up to their ideals.
A fish out of water, East meets West actioner, that follows the standard journey planner, but delves deeper than most, making for a more interesting thriller.
