~this japanese release, zatoichi looks promising - for the curious mind, here is the link - zatoichi neo.. *ponders* is it just me, or does the main samurai (the one with the white hair..) the same actor from the japanese film ~ Brother? =.

Ah yes the blind swordsman/masseur

I love Zatoichi, and have seen most of the 30 or so movies in the series. If you remember a movie called "Blind Fury" which starred Rutger Hauer back in 1990, it was based on the Zatoichi movies.

This new one looks pretty cool
