Zatoichi: The Blind Swordsman – Collection 2
Description
The classic TV series starring Shintaro Katsu! A threat is
uttered, a blade is drawn, a flash of cold steel and then…a dozen attackers
now lie silent, dispatched by the lightning sword of Zatoichi. A humble
masseur and gambler, Zatoichi wanders the countryside of Japan, going from
town to town plying his trade and rolling the dice. With kind heart and lethal
sword skills, he is protector of the innocent and the ruin of wicked men. A
pop culture icon since his screen debut in 1962, Zatoichi (played by Shintaro
Katsu) was a matinee favorite throughout the 1960s. After a dozen years and 25
films, the blind swordsman transitioned to the small screen in 1974 in the
series, Zatoichi Monogatari. Episodes 14-26 have been compiled in this three-
volume, six-disc set. Japanese language with English subtitles. Review … An
entertaining, artfully shot pulp action series. –DVD Verdict
