4.0 out of 5 stars Sleepy Eyes Of Death - Sword Of Fire, July 2, 2000

This review is from: Sleepy Eyes of Death - Sword of Fire [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Sleepy Eyes Of Death - Sword Of Fire - While traveling through the countryside Kyoshiro is forced to defend himself against an angry samurai trying to kill an apparently innocent woman. He is soon to find out that the woman is far from innocent and he unwittingly becomes ensnared in a convoluted plot kill off a band of smugglers that have been siphoning off loot from the shogun's treasury and giving it to one of the local (and very corrupt) officials. True to form, Kyoshiro sides with the underdogs and uses his blade to make things right. The sword battles in this film are very good and Kyoshiro dispenses his dark humor with the same flair as he wields his blade. As with the other films in this series, the camerawork and widescreen format are a treat and the acting and overall production values make this one a joy to watch. Oh yes, Kyoshiro takes special care of the "innocent" woman from the start of the film.
