Citas
Benma Hidari: [Ogami Itto has bested him and slashed him across the neck with a sword; blood is starting to flow from the wound, making a certain sound] My neck... my own neck... It sounds like it's wailing. My neck was sliced open diagonally. The cut wails like a cold winter wind. They call it "mogari-bue," - the whistle of a fallen tiger. I've always wished to kill someone, just once, and create such a fine cut and to sing this tune. Now I'm hearing it from my own neck. What a laugh.
[rolls over dead, with blood spurting out from his neck wound onto the sand]

Stunning Movie

I found Babycart in a sale and it had two other movies with it. The reason I bought it was because it had a special cover that indicating it had something to do with Kill Bill and it did. They were three films that had the biggest influence on Kill Bill so I thought it must be good but I didn't expect it to better. When viewing it I was watching how real films about samurai films were made and what they were like and they were more than I could have ever expected. The use of silence in some of the fight scenes were great but at first I thought it was really strange and didn't have a clue what was going on and I was saying every swear word in the dictionary of swearing then my Fiancée brought me back down to earth and said that she once read that samurai attacks in completely silence so it's enemy isn't aware of his moves which was the reason the film was like this and my thought straight away was `Clever Buggers'. It's because if you haven't grown up watching films like this and you are quite oblivious to what samurai films like this and Shogun Assassin are about you see them as a ray of sun shine into you're life because you are being introduced into this new genre which you never ever knew anything about which is always nice.

I was taken into this film from the start and was just amazed by how influential these kind of films have been for so many years and when you watch them you will see why.
