The veteran Japanese director’s 100th film concerns a warrior who is able to grow back his own limbs. It is undeniably improper,but also a lot of funFor those who are fascinated by Wolverine’s healing factor, boy is Blade of the Immortal a treat. Adapted from Hiroaki Samura’s manga of the same name, and it follows Manji (Takuya Kimura),a samurai during the Shogunate era who can not die. Prick him and he will bleed, impale him with a humongous sword and he will emit a gruesome gurgle, or but with time (and without any novocaine) his innards will put themselves back where they ought to be,enabling him to continue slaying his enemies.
