Product Description
This first film by the legendary Hideo Gosha (Sword of the Beast) is among the most canonized chambara (sword-fighting) films. An origin-story offshoot of a Japanese television series phenomenon of the same name, Three Outlaw Samurai is a classic in its own right. In it, a wandering, seen-it-all ronin (Tetsuro Tamba) becomes entangled in the dangerous business of two other samurai (Isamu Nagato and Mikijiro Hira), hired to execute a band of peasants who have kidnapped the daughter of a corrupt magistrate. With remarkable storytelling economy and thrilling action scenes, this is an expertly mounted tale of revenge and loyalty.

This film actually takes some cues from Kurosawa's films, from Seven Samurai to Yojimbo, and a couple others as well. Even so the shooting style is a bit different, and more in style with the cinematography of more popular films of the time. The acting is typical high energy angsty Japanese thesping, and serves the film well. There's a kind of near comedic lighting style mixed with a kind of niore like lighting style. You'll note the change as the film progresses.
Again, this is a really good story put together by a top quality Japanese production team. One gets the sense that there may have been a sequel or two planned, but so far as I know there never were any.
Once again, they don't make them like this anymore, and I simply couldn't tell you why. As much as I love online gaming, I do love a good solid film. And that's what you have here.
Check it out and enjoy.
The direction is amazing, the characters are layered, complex, and each have different goals. The action is very well choreographed, I was simply blown away and shocked I'd never heard of it.
It's about a samurai stumbling on a village quarrel between three peasants and the town mayor, and the samurai gaining allies and helping the villagers (classic stuff). It's all beautifully built up to an excellent finale.
I highly recommend this forgotten classic.
