Zatoichi vs Yojimbo

Zatoichi and Yojimbo fans will love this!Shintaro Katsu has aged and put on some weight, but the Zatoichi wry humor is still there, as is his lightning sword-play.Toshiro Mifune remains his Yojimbo double-dealing self.Together, they are lost souls, trying to survive in a miserable world filled with crooks, scoundrels, and murderers. Try as they may, their humanity keeps peeping through.It is refreshing to have enjoyable story plots instead of the continual escalating into stupid absurdity seen in most sequels these days.

Sure Zatoichi has put on a few pounds. Yeah, he broke his sword & his swordplay is @ a minimum. But the plot is intricate, characters rich and animated, the twists and turns, keeps one wondering who the bad guy really is. Toshiro Mifune is his old self, loud, rude and drunk most of the time. The interaction between these two is a joy to watch. And as usual, some pretty Japanese eye candy to balance it all out. Well worth the investment and IMHO one of the best in the series.

Not the best of the Yojimbo trilogy but still entertaining.

Love Zatoichi

My family and I have watched 'Zatoichi Meet Yojimbo' several times, now; and we find ourselves belly-laughing at the very same scenes, repeatedly. This film has action, an engaging storyline, and it is surprisingly funny; plus, the great Toshiro Mifune is in it, which makes it even more of a gem. (However, with the violence and all, we do not recommend this film for young children.)

Toshiro Mifune is the greatest actor of all time next to Daniel Day Lewis. Put him in a Zatoichi movie and you can't possibly go wrong.

One of the Greatest Samurai movies of all time

Yojimbo vs zatoichi can’t sake for more. Unless it was Godzilla vs ultra man but we get an awesome action comedy worthy of the characters

Product was exactly as advertised, so I have no complaints

The interaction of Shintaro Katsu and Toshiro Mifune is classic. Well written and delivers on excellent swordplay skills. Well worth the rental price.

Word...

Not the best plot, but having these two actors playing these two characters on the same screen is fun and enjoyable. You really have to watch it once if you're a fan.

If you are a fan of true samurai movies and this is for you.

great movie , nice and clear , great tale and loved the subtitles in different colors for each person, great combination ..

This is the top of the top! Mifune is magnificent as always, phenomenal Katzu next to him. A sentimental ending, for a change.

this is a classic anyone who is into movie , quality themes everything this movie is awesome we can learn a lot from this great director

Toshiro Mifune and Shintaro Katsu are great as usual. This is a serious story with some tongue-in-cheek nods to earlier samurai films Toshiro had starred in, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I had already seen it many years ago, but was moved to watch it again after going to see Rogue One. I'm almost certain Rogue One is making its own nod to this movie with its characters Chirrut Imwe (a blind 'swordsman') and Baze Malbus (a 'bodyguard').

It was pretty good. Just some parts stretched out too long. But Zatoichi is always good.

THE ZATOICHI MEETS YOJIMBO WAS CLEAR CONCISE AND A TRUE ENTERTAINING MARTIAL ARTS MOVIE.TWO LEADING ACTORS THAT HAVE CHARISMA AND KNOWLEDGE OF THAT ERA. THEY ARE QUALIFIED TO HOLD ANY AUDIENCE TO THEIR SEATS.IT WAS WORTH THE PRICE OF THE TICKET.

Ok so not being from Japan the deeper message (was there one?) may be missed but hell, it is Zatoichi and Yojimbo. That alone says I have to own it.
