I also loved the movie with "Beat" Takeshi!!! The movie had wonderful scenes in it, and many were funny!

Yea the one with Kitano was great, just watched the other day. But I saw that there is a version from the 60's (1966 I believe) does anyone know if it's good? Is the poster posted above from this older version, when I first saw it I thought the guy looked a little bit like Eric Cantonna :lol:

HAHAHA! Yeah, I can see the resemblance!!! :D YOu can also see up his dress (almost) hahaha...quite an unfortunate picture!! :D

I think the picture is from the older version of Zatoichi. The series zatoichi was very popular in Japan in 1970s I think???. :?

IFC channel played almost all the old films last Summer, and they are truly a joy. Shintaro Katsu is amazing in the title role. Some company called Momii has a boxed set of DVD's that includes some of the TV series, and titles that I haven't seen. Hmmmm

Beat's remake was rather good. At first my sons and I were confused by the rhythmic percussive dance elements...wait a minute, I'm still confused.

I was smiling for weeks after the ending of Kitano's Zatoichi! It's amazing! And that guy does kinda look like Eric Cantona!

I agree!! The scene style is fantastic. Combining a great scene with music...very creative!! I really like this style of making film!

The movie Zatoichi is very good imo. I like that the story has much changes in it and that it's not predictable. The action scenes are great and the music is well composed. :-)
