Query: what a stinker... I'd give it 1 1/2 stars

I could have gone without this movie. I guess I'm a traditionalist--Sanjuro, Chushingura, (Samurai) Rebellion, Hara-kiri, Sword of Doom--great movies; excellent sword work. But this stinker--poorly choreographed and a terrible 'jazz-like' musical score accompanies a transparent plot and lame "acting". Reminds me of the hack HK fist and sword melodramas. There's even the forlorn woman chasing the hero from beginning to end. Spare yourself.This dog could have stayed on the shelf for another 30 years and no one would complain.
