samurai to save his friends.
This is
one of those movie films that is so cheesy they only way to enjoy is like MST3K, Mystery Science Theater 3000, to sit back, comment and laugh at how
bad the film was. They might of named
this movie this the Swords of the Samurai, because there was no 'blood' of the
samurai (only the swords), but that would of sounded overly cool for the title
of this movie. While the actors all act seriously, it too clichéd and it looks
like they are dressed up more for a costume party than the character roles. The action scenes was totally fake with
missing body parts props, fake blood from squeeze bottles and mannequins that
all could of come from a Halloween shop.
The picture and sound quality is awful and print looks old, plus we get
no extras. For laughs only!
