4.0 out of 5 stars the original revenge story, 1 Feb 2004
first, this is a typical story about revenge(therefore 4 star not 5 star for me), so prepare yourself for blood, samurai sword action and a lot more blood.
second, Quentin Tarentino is a fan of this movie, you can spot some camera techniques used in this movie were used in Kill Bill 1.(so i guessed he is a big fan?!)
third, so if you like QT and his Kill Bill, you will pretty much like this one too!

2.0 out of 5 stars Great film, awful DVD, 12 Aug 2004
By Sam Woodward "sensei_sam" (Swansea, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Don't get me wrong, this really is an outstanding film. Hardly surprising, since it was written by Kazuo Koike, who did the screenplays for the Babycart/Lone Wolf & Cub films, as well as writing the original Lone Wolf Manga series. But quite frankly, this particular edition - like most of Artsmagic's output - is appalling. If I hadn't bought it from such a respected retailer, I'd have assumed it was a bootleg copy.

Not only is the picture quality nowhere near as good as you would generally expect from a DVD but the menu graphics look awful & are unclear & the features are very poor. The chapters often start/finish in the completely illogical places eg halfway through a scene. I noticed one starts about 2 minutes before the end of an importan scene - why not start it after the scene, then? Worse still, there isn't even a clock, so most DVD players can't tell you how long it's been on for & how long is left - even my video can do that.

But if you can get past that, it's still a good film which is well worth seeing. I personally wouldn't call it a classic as it's a bit too generic for that, but it's still a very good film that I would highly recommend to fans of the Samurai/Revenge genres.

4.0 out of 5 stars the original black mamba?, 7 May 2004
pauls capsule review: while watching kill bill (vol 1) in the cinema i found myself thinking many a time "this is an awful lot like lady snowblood", and i'm not far wrong. lady snowblood is by far the greatest single influence on the first kill bill film (not that this is a bad thing!!). Similar plot: a womans revenge, lots of blood, similar shots, even the lady snow blood theme appears in kill bill! Lovers of old 60's/70's zatoichi and lone wolf and cub films will love this. Good stuff.
