The characters in that "master director" film are pretty much like in films titled The Deadly Revenve of the Young Master, The Dragon vs. Deadly Sticks. The Deadly Fist, and suchlike. The audience was giggling in dramatic moments: the scene with a warrior looking like a porcupine from all these arrows really cracked it (the fun barrel) open. Old Lord siting with zillions of bullets and arrows flying around provided much fun, scenes with insanity caused lots of laughs and made me hope that Kurosawa subject his degenerate character to a torturous death immediately! Except for the photography is was a dog. Final battle scene was done incomprehensibly. The whole thing looked like a cartoon series, with full-blown cartoon-sophistication characters. We have another piece of acclaimed hogwash form a big-name director. -- Mike Cherepov
