zatoichi meets the one armed swordsman (1971)


AKA Shin zatô Ichi: Yabure! Tôjin-ken.
"We're both human beings, but we still can't communicate."
Wang Kong (Yu Wang), the One-Armed Swordsman arrives in Japan and witnesses an attack on a family by some samurai. He kills some whilst trying to protect the child, who runs off, only to be found by Ichi (Shintarô Katsu). Ichi tries to look after the child, eventually meeting up with Wang, who has been blamed for the atrocity. Unfortunately misunderstandings develop between the two which can only lead to one thing, a duel to the death.
A Japanese hero meets a Chinese one and sparks fly. Another great chapter in the life of Zatoichi.
