Review of The Sword of Doom (1966) by Chase V — 07 Mar 2009
The Sword of Doom is probably one of the best samurai films you'll ever see. Actually, it's probably one of the best films ever. In one of the most captivating vilain roles ever, Tatsuya Nakadai plays the fearsome Ryunosuke. It's ri-god-damn-fucking-diculous how Ryunosuke manages to build the highest kill count in cinema history.
I guess the only complaint is the ending, which cuts off short because the film was intended to be part of a trilogy (which never happened, unfortunately). But even the ending is fucking cool, and when a shortcoming is so bad ass, you know this film will rock your face off.
Oh, and if that doesn't convince you, the esteemed Toshiro Mifune (if you don't know who he is, shame on you and your Pirates of the Caribbean bull shit) is in it, and he fucks shit up, like he usually does.
