    Man, this is the type of movies that reminds me of why i love japanese cinema so much. They can make a dead-serious drama like Ugetsu and then completely switch gears and do something crazy as this.

    Once more, the surprise doesn't ends, as this, along with many other japanese ex...( read more)plotation flicks of the period, were made before american and european explotation started to really get their fuel. And even so, a movie like Hanzo just takes the whole "tough-rude-ladiesman-policeman" thing and injects it with 200mg of extra radness.

    Yes, the whole values of the story are sexist, and everyone else seems to be always corrupt. But who cares, those scenes with Hanzo walking down the streets with funky music in the background are pure genius. Kazuo Koike (the creator of the original manga, and also author of Lady Snowblood and Lone Wolf and Cub) is one crazy man, in the best way possible of course.

    The second film in the trilogy would be my favorite, but this one is not bad at all, and very rich in characters actually. You just gotta love Katsu-Shin proclaiming how cool it would be to bang a female ghost.

    Pure 70's down to the music, but surprisingly serious and well done drama. And yeah, the man uses sex as a weapon.

    He's dirtier than Harry, and shaftier than Shaft. welcome to Hanzo the Razor lol!
    I kept waiting for a character with an afro and trumpet trousers. Very funky samurai, with the longest 'arm' of law!

    This is so outrageous and deliciously cheesy. Hanzo is one of the most interesting character's that I've seen in a B-movie. Hanzo would probably be the Japanese equivalent to a blaxploitation film. I loved how the music score of this film was funky 70s-ish disco music. How delici...( read more)ously funk-ay. I think what makes this film a success ultimately is that the plot is interesting and unlike other films where conversations are just filler pieces between fight scenes, here they were truly riveting. I love Hanzo's pissed off expression throughout the film and just the audaciousness and yet seriousness that pervades it. Who said B-movies were always bad?

    Feministas, alejense de esta pelicula. Shintaru Katsu, cansado de su masajista dulzon, se convierte en un samurai con un curioso sentido de la justicia. Es muy "fino" para interrogar a las mujeres. Ellas confiesan lo que sea por el puro placer de ser interrogadas. Los fans de Zat...( read more)oichi no se deben perder a este Shintaru Katsu sadomasoquista.
