The new Beat Takeshi one. Anyone else seen it?

Yeah, my best friend and I watched it. The fight scenes may look fake, but damn if they aren't hardcore as hell!

They really should release some of these movies like.. y'know... in a lot more theaters.

It's not like Zatoichi isn't a big success. Also, there's a DVD of this movie out there that also has an older Takeshi movie on a second disc.

Is that a remake or something? I remember reading a review of it a long time ago that mentioned something along those lines.

Zatochi is like the James Bond of Japanese cinema. There's something like thirty movies.

The blind swordsman who goes around fighting for the little guy, right? I've seen a couple older movies. It's like Kung Fu, only set in the right place.

Exactally.

Anybody remember a movie from the 80's called Blind Fury?

Nope.
