Fan of this movie here: The "bodyguard" he refers to is a expert swordsman they've hired at the beggining of the movie. If you notice, he says in japanese: "Sensei [something bla bla]"
Love this movie. It's definitely more of an 'art house' movie though rather than an action film. One of my favourite scenes is where he's walking out in the countryside and the farmers working the fields become part of the soundtrack which I found strangely, beautifully hypnotic.
If someone is blind, their other senses improve, such as hearing and feeling. When I was in Singapore, I did this blind experience thing with my class where we were in a dark room and the staff are all blind. They could tell how much money I gave them when we were in a “restaurant”.
I loved this movie when I saw it the first time. Then I saw some of the old Zatoichi movies. The contrast here is that this guy is way more of a badass, but old Zatoichi is more believable as a blind man. His fighting style is completely different.
Old Ichi would often fake clumsiness to keep his opponents optimistic, otherwise everyone just froze in terror, Ichi had other things to get to that day.. Also he virtually never bothered to kill unarmed peeps, no challenge.. This Ichi is grey haired, I'm guessing older, more jaded.. just as easy to gack an unarmed guy as not.. _flash_
To aim for surprise means to hide and lurk. Even if the other party is blind, as long as we have such an awareness imprinted on us, it is not surprising that we would take this action. If this were me, I would surely act the same way. Because it comes from my own life-supported (and can surprise people) experience, and it is an action that I can take on the spur of the moment.
The music direction in this movie is top notch. I love how they cut out just as he killed the first dude. And the farming and construction scenes are 🔥🔥🔥 too
I like the slashes and cuts in the fights. That’s what makes this the best lone swordsman movie for me. If they made a remake of this movies or a sequel, I would be all over it.
Right at the end he kills a guy, leaves him holding his scabbard in a deathgrip, then after killing the last man just throws his sword backwards into the scabbard. What a boss.
@@chuongtruong1676 I suppose it's a lot more efficient to use digital effects as you don't have to clean the set up every time they mess up a stunt but still looks odd!
@@davidjsaul It's an objectively poor decision to use CGI for blood in any medium. They used to do scenes like this in one take. The editing is worse than the CGI.
@@maskcollector6949 Yep, I agree. Even more annoying is it still looks incredibly fake even now. Given how good CGI is these days it seems ridiculous that they can't make CGI blood look more realistic!
@@davidjsaul It's not going to match reality anytime soon, sticking to practical effects indefinitely because it's got more depth because you get an actual reaction from the actors.
True. By the way, I've just watched the old movie, Zatoichi's Flashing Sword, and the only time Zatoichi got hurt was when he was hit by a piece of tile in the head. He started bleeding then, and that was pretty much the ending. The ending was a bit weird but Zatoichi still killed everyone and won.
Some chick made him bleed, and a baby bit his nipple.. but his only consistent weakness seems to be firearms.. if he's not close enough. Good thing it's set in the 1840's.
No it wasn't. Do you understand what a 'simple' pan is? The shot is a close-up transitioning through a pan into a mid-shot whilst conserving momentum. It's not a 'simple' shot by a long run, even if it looks 'simple' to you.
Just one of his many attempts to do a bit of everything to sell himself. He openly talked about how he hates video games. But of course, he'll still make one cause cash.
This is when CGi still involved in the sword fighting scenes, right before Rurouni Kenshin (Live Action) Series has been born with less CGi involving..
I really appreciate how they treated the classic Zatoichi memetics here with the CGI and whatnot. Zatoichi is the Michael Myers of justice and I think this movie did a good job covering it. Don't run from Zatoichi. Try to ambush Zatoichi. Use a gun or a ranged weapon against Zatoichi. And so on.
I mean, I have to admit it. Takeshi Kitano plays a marvelously frightening version of 座頭市, but I’ve gotten so used to Shintaro Katsu as embodying 座頭市, that’s it’s difficult to accept anyone else. Kitano is great in actually acting as a blind man would. Credit where credit is due.
wonderfully scripted and choreographed production replete with ironic, even whimsical touches that makes this quirky Zatoichi film almost something you can watch with your family!
Love this movie.. had it on VHS for years until I found the DVD. I recommend"Brother", another great Beat Takeshi film, for those that haven't discovered it yet.
His kills symbolize death and his blindess symbolizes the inability to see. Truly brilliant writing.
hahahahahaha
I love this movie but I suggest you look up the original film series with Shintaro Katsu, trust me, you'll see something more on them.
Hum... that comment symbolizes writing a comment.
I want to like your comment but it looks so perfect with exactly 100 likes...

Enemies: We did not see this coming.

Yeah there's this blind guy down the street from where I live. Kinda like this.
Coulda just called the whole movie this
Reminds me of that tragedy
Fun fact, that guy pulled an actual gun, in an attempt to stop Takeshi Kitano's murderous rampage on set.
Rumor says the prop master accidentally gave him a loaded katana.
hahahaha XD

The rain scene in this film shows that. Ichi has been having these kinds of adventures for so long that its all he sees anymore. Hes numb to it now.

This Zatoichi is a lot more ruthless.
Yup, like him that way
Like Me.
This Zatoichi’s not handicapped. He makes his opponents handicapped!
He was dealing with a yakuza type group who massacred an entire family.
@@mannylugz5872 Uh oh it's "that guy"
Imagine you need to hide behind a door to surprise a blind swordmaster 😂

You cant even kill him in an open, so thats why they choose that attempt
Damn so this is what it's like to keep ghost stance going indefinitely

Zatoichi has some mad perks
Jin sakai but blind, but doesn't use ghost weapons
"Find me in the next life."

たけしさんの座頭市 超絶かっこいいです！殺陣すごい！
Later on, he joined the Special Forces to fight Shinnok and Quan Chi.
Nice to know someone follows Dan Southworth's inspiration as he mentions that in an interview regarding his character Kenshi
1:59 lol, the guy's probably thinking "Oh why? I could've still lived."
タケシ天才すぎやろマジで
This was awesome I like how he's not wasting time with his enemies.
"Get the body guards"
Because that will help immensely
I think he said "Get THE bodyguard" meaning bring out the pro rather these cheap minions. Didn't do much good though, did it?
日本語は「先生を呼んでこい」なので、訳が下手くそですね

The Boss. Zatoichi. Love this guy.
The CGI blood looks really weird. I thought all these types of Japanese films used practical blood effects?
I believe it was the director’s (who also acted as the protagonist) choice. Stylistic choice.

The dance scene at the end was awesome, great movie.
My God he's perfect! Those cuts and dramatic details are amazing!
When u realize he didn't even need to use his devil fruit powers
Best thing in this scene are the faces people make before dying 👌
which cud be traced back to kabuki performer, where they had to emphasize what is going on...
Such a shame they don't make good movies like this anymore.
久々に見たけど死ぬほどカッコええやん
Dudes are brave, see old blind guy slice through a dozen guys like nothing and you still hang around to take him on, pretty ballsy.

Takeshi played a great Zatoichi. And this title is perfect because he does clean house in this scene
1:57 When you don t upgrade your luck stat
and then he became the host for takeshi castle tv shows
I like how a guard was just conveniently standing directly in the bullet's path when the gun fired 😆
I always watch this movie when it comes on tv. Love the tap dance sequence at the end.
One of the BEST samurai movies Ive ever seen!
1:51 Awesome camera shot!
The movement is very nice, and it's got nice framing. What's wrong with the shot? Weirdo.
No it wasn't. Do you understand what a 'simple' pan is? The shot is a close-up transitioning through a pan into a mid-shot whilst conserving momentum. It's not a 'simple' shot by a long run, even if it looks 'simple' to you.

This is the samurai of Japan
When he slashes the stone lantern is the best and he throws the sword back into is scabbard
He's so good that he could do this blindfolded
I Love this movie. Can't wait to see Takeshi Kitano in the new Ghost in the shell picture. He's my favorite Japanese actor.
He doesn't do any action in that movie ghost in the shell except one scene and it isn't much. He has a few speaking parts that is it.
ARakaLordBrilliant He did it for the paycheck, I don't blame him.
He does everything for the paycheck. He's known for being a sellout.
Just one of his many attempts to do a bit of everything to sell himself. He openly talked about how he hates video games. But of course, he'll still make one cause cash.
He was underplayed. Sadly enough.
This movie is the reason why I always give extra distance to blind people when they're walking in the street.
"Get the Bodyguard...
And find someone to clean the Koi-pond!"
If there were real samurais like him then that's like the most craziest thing you would ever witness if you were there without a doubt hand down.
I love Takeshi Kitano, but Shintaro Katsu was, is and will be the one and only Zatoichi!
I saw this movie when i was kid... need to see it again now
Imagine losing a gunfight against an old blind swordsman.
The sound the dude makes when dying @ 1:26. Most original I've heard.
Great film, I always liked watching this... Just imagine that skill.... with a Light Saber 🤔
I love the comic-book feel of the fights. So splashy and artistic.
One of the greatest ever opening sequels in movie history.
One of best movies I saw in the theater, loved it!
I think you have to be a cold hard OG to look at all that and go: “Eh...get the bodyguard.”
The rule is simple...any blind swordman on movies/games/books/animes will always be OP.
Man, I gotta watch this movie...Again.
1:59 The one dude who could have turned the odds in their favor.
Every shot is pure Art in this scene.
So this is how Fujitora got drafted into the Marines...well I'll be damned.

Got me feeling nostalgic , gonna go watch "Shogun Assassin" and" lightning Sword of Death".
Got to see all the Lone Wolf movies in a theater earlier this year-was so happy.

it is a distinctive of Takeshi's work!
You can see such scenes like this in another Takeshi's Yakuza movies.

Классика! Прекрасный фильм. Смотрел много раз.
Fake news! Zatoichi did NOT kill everybody, The one guy shot the other guy.
Best Zatoichi clip I've ever seen, tho.
1:32 I felt that
Right in the family jewels.
Out of all the people got killed here, the only one I pity is the guy who got cut from the crotch up.
It's the one hit by the stray bullet for me. Poor guy had already given up the fight. XD
Yep, he got a Bobbit like no other.
The actor actually went on a rampage on set and the director liked so much so he kept it in the final cut
