Very rare actioneer, starring Scott Glenn and directed by John Frankenheimer. Very well done modern day samurai flick. It like the shogun warrior meets the yakuza.Plot: Rick, a down-and-out American boxer, is hired to transport a sword to Japan, unaware that the whole thing is a set up in a bitter blood-feud between two brothers, one who follows the traditional path of the samurai and the other a businessman. At the behest of the businessman, Rick undertakes samurai training from the other brother, but joins his cause. He also becomes romantically involved with the samurai's daughter. The Dvd is encoded NTSC REGION 0(playable on U.S. and Canada dvd players). The audio and video quality is VERY GOOD(rates 9 out of 10). Also, there is an interactive menu with scene selection for easy navigation through the dvd. INTERNATIONAL BUYERS DO NOT PAY UNTIL ADJUSTED INVOICE IS SENT REFLECTING ADJUST SHIPPING AND HANDLING FEES. THANK YOU!
