Jigoku-gokuraku-maru is a samurai on the run. One bounty hunter hoping to collect the sizeable reward is Teppo Oyuri, a comely lass who is an ace shot with her pearl-laden pistol. Before she can set her sights on Jigoku-gokuraku-maru, he is attacked by a hoard of sword-wielding thugs also hoping to collect the reward. He dispatches them with bloody aplomb. Later, Jigoku-gokuraku- maru and Teppo Oyuri—who has fallen for the master swordsman in spite of herself—ventures to Zipingu—the Land of Gold—in search of a magical gold sword.

Viewing Notes
This is a pretty great Japanese action fantasy with plenty of weirdness and fun, and a perfect film for a marathon. I’d never even heard of this one before.
