Review of The Tale of Zatoichi (1962) by Scott R — 19 Feb 2015
The Tale of Zatoichi would begin the world's longest action movie franchise, perhaps even the longest film franchise. The incredible feat is having the same actor, not replacing him every once in a while.
This film introduces us to the popular blind swordsman, for a plot that mixes friendship, greed, and honour in a very Yojimbo-esque type story. Some of the subplots drag the story down, but its still an entertaining debut for the famous swordsman.
