Shogun's Shadow (1989)
Member Rating:  
The boy who is the Shogun's Shadow, or heir, is in considerable danger. Personal bodyguard Igo Gyobu (Ken Igata), accompanied by seven samurai, is sent to bring him to safety. They cross deserts, swim through roaring rivers, and climb snow covered mountains, all with hostile armies in pursuit. This grand-scale action follows the outlines of a classic tall-tale. All sense of disbelief is happily suspended in order to provide maximum excitement. Director Yasuo Furuhata even stages one battle to the accompaniment of throbbing rock music. Martial arts legend Sonny Chiba) choreographed the exuberant fight scenes. ~ Clarke Fountain, Rovi

    If you are into classics like Seven Samurai and have enjoyed viewing The Last Samurai, you will enjoy this movie. It has great scenery, costumes, and basic but effective and realistic fight scenes. The movie could have been shorter to suit my tastes but epics are supposed to be long, right?

    If you enjoy Samurai Period movies this is a must see. The movie has a very good plot and great action scenes. The choreography is beautiful. The plot of a few warriors overcoming great obstacles to fulfill their obligation is a time tested winner. However, I must warn you, if you are a Horse lover I would avoid watching this movie. Toward the end of the movie the spiils and stunts the horses and actors perform are quite extreme.
