The 1- armed swordsman series is very good . Zatoishi series is also very good.This film however is the best of both the 1_armed swordman films and Zatoishi series. There is a duel between Zatoishi and the 1-armed swordsman in the end.They cant understand each other because of the language barrier.The duel is splendid but the result... Too bad this film is not avalaible as VHS
