Overview
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
After Hours programming on Daikaiju TV. If I saw this as a kid it would be one of my favorite movies. Has so much crazy shit going on and is a wild fantasy adventure. But it’s a bit of a slog in parts. Especially the third act when it should be rising to a crescendo. Still fun. 8/10 for the first half but 5/10 for the second half.
