Zatoichi Challenged (1967)

I think all the early zatochi movies are brilliant And this one is Surly one of the best in the series As per normal great acting and a great story with very convincing acting all round The end fight is probably one of the most poinent of any fights and the choreography and lighting is just to die for ...

shintaro katsu for my money though is the best zatochi and one of the most engaging actors ever to play any roll especially considering the amount of time he spent on screen The TV series although not as great is worth delving in for as there are more than 100 episodes some great others not but all in all it still has the power to hook the viewer in

I would say if you new to this series this wouldn't be a bad place to start . But any of the 26 movies are worth seeing as is the brilliant 2003 film
