Hanzo

Sandy screwed everything around here! Another short review!

GOYOKIBA-(HANZO THE RAZOR: SWORD OF JUSTICE)-1972-Shintaro Katsu (in between Zatoichi films) plays Hanzo, a strange law enforcement officer in feudal Japan. He uses self-flagellation to make himself tougher and tortures a female prisoner in this very weird period piece that caught me by surprise although I didn't find it that entertaining. It's violent and crazy and has a modern '70's action soundtrack.

Director Kenji Misumi made several Zatoichi entries and a little later did the notorious LONE WOLF AND CUB series.

Thanks for reading!
