Cord Prolific Registered: 01/13/05 Posts: 11399 Loc: Cambridge UK.	Are you guys referring to the Takeshi Kitano version replete with dance-number ending? If so its a darn masterpiece IMO the only 'graphics' i can think of were the slicing up the bo through the thumb, a few blood splats, and the morphing between child and adult cast at the curtain call. A little rough maybe, but i can forgive that. If there is a version more recent than this I havent seen it, but would appreciate details _________________________ Don't let the door hit ya' where the good lord split ya' http://cord.mybrute.com

funstick5000 Enthusiast Registered: 07/16/05 Posts: 759 Loc: West Yorkshire, England	from what you'veall said here it sounds more like you were watching kung fu hustle! are the older versions of zatoichi any good? _________________________ Go seek the advise of a qualified instructor.

Cord Prolific Registered: 01/13/05 Posts: 11399 Loc: Cambridge UK.	It is far more understated and has a greater depth of character than most anime. It is absolutely nothing like kung fu hustle- its actually funny for a start, and plays more like a spaghetti western, so in that sense is very much in the chambara tradition. The old zatoichi movies are OK, but not a patch on Kitano's version IMO _________________________ Don't let the door hit ya' where the good lord split ya' http://cord.mybrute.com

Subedei Member Registered: 12/23/04 Posts: 479	I really enjoyed it. I don't see what's wrong with the dance number at the end, the entire movie is like a slightly hidden dance number

Kung Fu Hung-Su Member Registered: 02/23/05 Posts: 37 Loc: Canberra, ACT, Australia	I loved all the musical segments and definately the dance at the end, those "tap dancers" rock. There were fight scenes in this? Bah, who cares?
