Review of Zatoichi and the Chest of Gold (1964) by Neal R — 30 Dec 2008
Another fine installment in this great series. It is a little more developed than some of the others in the series, and some of the suspense here comes in the form of complcated developments leading to the invevitable clash of swords.
One thing that I think needs to be mentioned when talking about this series - And again, a very fine series it is - Is just how similar the story is in each movie. Reluctant hero reticently tries to avoid conflict, in unerringly drawn into it, and in some way or form saves the day only to be sent packing on his way - If you likes The Incredible Hulk T.V. show, or even Dr. Who Tv. Show, this formula will seem familiar - It started here as far as I know, and is done better here than in many other places.
This is an absolute winner !
