MOVIE SUMMARY
In this classic of 1970s Japanese cinema, the legendary actor
Tetsuro Tanba stars as Shiro, a master swordsman known as “The
Assassin”. Weary of the world of samurai honor and samurai killing,
he attempts suicide in the middle of a huge swordfight by leaping
into a fast flowing river. He is saved by the Bohachi clan, a gang
of vicious pimps who have forsaken all honour and whose cynicism
outruns even his own. But ultimately, he tires even of their
nihilistic worldview, leading to a final showdown in the snow where
he takes on a small army of brutal killers.
Full of flying
limbs, naked lady ninjas, drug-induced hallucinations, cackling
villains and wild action set-pieces, BOHACHI BUSHIDO is one of
director Teruo Ishii's most deranged and impressive spectacles. We
are extremely excited to bring you the world HD disc debut of this
incredible cult film in a brand new exclusive 4K restoration with
many exclusive extras.
