Misumi Kenji's Zatoichi: The Festival of Fire finds the famous blind swordsman becoming mixed up with a blind but powerful gangster. The town is a brutal place where women and children are regularly available to the highest bidder. Zatoichi takes a fancy to two local women, and this causes him to earn the ire of both two local men - one of them a Yakuza. ~ Perry Seibert, Rovi

Okay, so it's old, the movie's so talky they run two subtitles simultaneously, the action sequences seem implausible -- who cares? If you love spaghetti westerns, shogun/samurai films, or that ilk, this is a historic gem! Blind Yakuza Itchi avenges poor people suffering from extorting underworld shoguns -- killer story line! The swordplay's cool, the giesha girls are hot, and there's a lot underplayed erotic mischief.
