And it's about time there was a Chiba collection, although this is still just a sample from his entire career... Strange that they chose to single this one out, as Chiba doesn't have much screen time. This is also a nice adventure film in which a group of ronin have to protect the son of a mad shogun and bring him to Edo, while his own father wants him dead to give the succession to another son.
Action and adventure scenes follow at a rapid pace to an unexpectedly grim ending. The 1980s are not my favorite period when it comes to Japanese films, but this one was a stroke of luck. The ugly falls of the horses were not nice... Not the most animal-friendly film.
