Satomi hakkenden 里見八犬伝 (1983) |
a.k.a. The Legend of the Eight Samurai. Subtitled. Young Princess Shizu of Satomi (played by Yakushimaru Hiroko) is in danger from demonic enemies who wish to take her skin and drain her blood. Bouncy wild-child Shinbei (Sanada) resolves to catch the princess for a reward, but finds his motives changing as he travels with Shizu and meets the samurai whose destinies are mystically linked with hers. Lots of lurid color, opulent sets and costumes, jarring rock music, action, and eye-candy for all persuasions. Totally fun. |
