Samurai and Kung Fu

Although a fantastic movie, its a bit confusing as to what happened to the sister, it doesn't say. So it leaves a feeling of incompleteness.

Fascinating story of Aragami, God of Battle, a demon that hasn't been defeated in so long. That whenever travelers visit the temple and stay the night, Aragami tell his tale and then offers the traveler a chance to defeat him.

A surprising film, I must say. Wasn't expecting to like this one much, guess I was wrong. A master teaches his students to become assassins then each of them is paired and must fight eachother to death, those left standing will go on the become the best assassins... that is till they found out the truth, things aren't as appears. And Azumi... in the end was the only one left standing.

I loved the first movie, this sequel is equally as good but pitiful. Azumi still lives and kicks ass, but has to lose more of her friends to death which is pretty unfair. But thus is the story of an assassin, you're bound to lose those you love in the mission and end up alone. The scenery is still gorgeous. You feel for Azumi and her remaining two companions in this back stabbing film.

A silly piece of work and gorey. Most definitely worth owning and watching all the extras - loads of laughs!

Interesting story of a love torn apart.

Not as interestng as the first volume, but brings the movie to its conclusion.

Cool with an interesting story. Something new, definitely action packed with humor.

Amazing sword action and bittersweet story with angst-filled emotions rolling all over.

Beautiful story and tragic. Beautiful and amazing scenes and CGI effects.

So much destruction!!! *laugh* Silly too.

Kind of left a bit to be desired, the ending wasn't quite realistic... However its just a minor inconvience. All in all the fight and swordsmanship scenes are cool.

Lots of fun and fascinating costumes and youkai (demons). Not just for youths, but adults can enjoy this interesting gem.

Lovely snake sisters wanting to be human and love story. The scenery is beautiful and soft.

Humorous, not bad for an old film.

Exciting and beautiful. Funny with a love story twist.

Definitely fun to watch! Silly sibling revilry and their father tells tall silly tales.

Bloody, and more blood. IZO just slices his way throughout the film. I'm kind of confused on the story here.

Kibakichi is half man, half werewolf, all samurai and he kicks mean ass! It's said that if demons and humans meld, the world will go to hell.

Not quite as fun as the first, however Kibakichi finally gets to face the female werewolf and put the past to rest. Not the best fighting scenes between these two, a bit too slow and fake.

Not for everyone... Lots kung fu and bodies flying everywhere, hilarious moments too.

I was disappointed they used a white man as the last samurai, Tom Cruise no less. On a brighter note, the movie's very good.

Such a dark story but action packed film. Musa is an amazing, strong character. He takes on task of protecting the spoiled princess, taking her to the place where she thought she and her people'd be safe but it turned out the destinated place was deserted and now turns into their grave, that is unless they stop the army that wants the princess. I'm glad to have watched this film.

An interesting futuristic film. It's scenery and CGI is amazing and beautiful.

Fascinating and supernaturally charged with lots of humor. I love Onmyoji, he's so cute and silly!

A beautiful love story and motion. Breath taking pictures and CG, lovely costumes.

SO TRAGIC! A tear jerker film. A boy and his bond with elephants, growing up with them and then when two were taken, he went in search of them in the U.S. as an adult. Discovered what happened to the rest of the exotic animals.

Macbeth, anyone? A wonderful story and good action scenes, beautiful pictures. I enjoyed this film.

A bit sad but curious piece of film. I like it, it's not like all other time travel flicks, it has a bit of uniqueness to it.

A good story, I'm only disappointed that they made it black and white with some blood red color now and then. Otherwise it's an excellent ninjs/samurai film.

For a black and white movie, this is very good. And amusing.

Can't find this hard to get gem! Had to buy it from a seller... I'm glad I did, its a beautiful film about an exiled prince. Assassins come to kill the prince but a woman samurai came to his Inn to convince the prince to return home and rule since his father was killed. The prince as you can imagine liked his freedom and was reluctant to leave. It has some humor blended in but more dramatic and the action is good.

Talk about brutal and gorey. Lots of fun. Not much of a story though.

A tragic love story. A male and female of different clans can't be together due to their clan's history of warring with each other. They try to break that cycle, 5 best warriors from each clan were chosen to fight each other and the winner gets to meet the empreor and plead their case to end the war for good. Alas it's just not meant to be, for if they don't fight then what life is there? They spend their life trained for battle, such is the nature of Shinobi.

An interesting take on the Yagyu Clan. Jubei Yagyu is my favorite character played by Sonny Chiba. He has this sort of innocence about him, he's sweet and funny and very handsome and quite the samurai. In this story Jubei loses his left eye in a fight defending his father from another samurai but in Reborn from Hell, he loses his eye sparring with his father as a boy. In this case, the father is the evil conspiracing bastard who has turned two brothers against eachother for Shogun place and Yagyu gets to be the teacher of the turned bad prince. Many innocence people and clans were used and killed by Yagyu and this evil prince turned Shogun... All for the sake of keeping the Yagyu school which is the dream of Jubei's father. In the end finding the truth to be thus, Jubei angerly confronted his father with the severed head of his so called prince. Yagyu lost his mind. My only disappointment is that it's not showing enough of Jubei/Sonny Chiba.

Silver Hawk sure knows how to kick serious bums! She's pretty and good at what she does. An excellent movie, fun to watch.

Interesting flying action scenes and all that fun samurai action or should I say fancy swordplay?!

I love this movie, its a favorite for me. At first it was mildly confusing as to what was going on but as the movie progressed it became clearer. Sword in the Moon has amazing swordmanship, samurai action, story and armor/clothing.

To make a long story short... Yin, Chi and a lot of men were once 'brothers' or comrades and served under one master happily. But there was a war brewing, a crooked governor and assassins trying to murder the master these brothers protect. So the army was divided, half would stay including Chi and the other half lead by Yin would head north. Having lost, Yin and his comrades were forced to switch sides and serve this evil governor or be beheaded. Yin, one night escaped to the south to warn his brother Chi to leave because war was headed his way and he is forced to kill their old master. In bitter battle Yin kills his brother Chi and once comrades... The daughter of the master, Shi had hid during the war, when it was over she found Chi still breathing and nursed him back to health. They both became assassins and tried their best to kill the evil governor to avenge their master and comrades.
Shi was captured by Yin and tortured until Chi came to her rescue and he in turn nursed her back to health. In the end... the last battle took place on a bridge, Chi under disguise as one of the carriage carriers that held the govenor aloft; took his chance and almost succeeded. Chi was distracted by the Shi's dying scream and the govenor stabbed Chi, everything changed then. Chi fought his way to her and held her as she died in his arms. Pissed, he fought his way back to the governor but was interupted by Yin who at last came to Chi's side and said that he would die for him. Side by side at last as brothers with their memories flashing before them, of when they had held their breathe under water with their comrades... They both fought through an overwhelming number of armies but the movie ends and they never reach the evil govenor.

This would have made a great love story, a gem imbedded in this war-torn film. All I know is that the Shi seems to love Chi and he cares for her in return but this love didn't blossom, stunted by their vegeance, revenge, the indent to end the evil governor's reign. Ultimately failing. It's bittersweet. It's sad that brothers and friends were torn apart and a love didn't have the chance to bloom into something more wonderful.

Strange, yet interesting erotic gay samurai flick. One samurai's beauty is bewitching the men he shares the dojo with at the samurai training school. He has never known the touch of women so a few try to introduce him to women prostitutes that it turned into a surprising twist of events.

Hilariously cute! This has nothing to do with Vampire Effect with Jackie Chan. It's more about Mistresses and male slaves and a love story twisted around it. It's about twin sisters love of the same man. One twin truly loves the man and he her, but he didn't know she had a twin sister and bed her. In a rage the twin sisters cursed eachother, true one was killed and became spirit, the other an evil mistress and all the men became slaves.

Hilarious until the end. Keeps me laughing, it's just so silly. Those twins need a serious spanking. TSK!

The dead just won't stay down! A different kind of zombie like movie with time travel and samurai skills.

A violent and unhappy film.

Can ya say, kung fu kangaroos? *laugh* Fun loving fantasy.

Interesting that a girl gets something she never wanted... Special abilities, interesting destiny and a handsome monk protector.

Very funny and very sweet! An instant favorite.

I loved the amazing CG and action in this movie. Fantastical and magical with a soft love story mixed in but isn't the focus of the movie.

Excellent and humorous! Definitely gonna watch some of the series.
