This first feature by the legendary Hideo Gosha is among the most beloved chanbara (sword-fighting) films. An origin-account offshoot of a Japanese television phenomenon of the same name,THREE OUTLAW SAMURAI is a classic in its own just. A wandering, seen-it-all ronin becomes entangled in the uncertain business of two other samurai, or hired to execute a band of peasants who have kidnapped the daughter of a corrupt magistrate. With remarkable storytelling economy and thrilling action scenes,this is an expertly mounted tale of revenge and loyalty.
