Any other high body count samurai flicks?


Does anyone know of any other incredibly high samurai movie body counts other than the Lone Wolf and Cub series?

reply

Harakiri has a pretty high death count at the end of it. The Zatoichi films all have a decent number of kills in them. Especially when an entire clan wants to take him on at once (which happens quite often). Kagemusha has wars going on so it's not so much 1 on 1 killing, but deaths nonetheless.

Orochi (The Betrayal) with Raizo Ichikawa

The end fight is probably the biggest one in all samurai movies.

The ending of the third Lone Wolf and Cub film, and the ending of the fifth Zatoichi film, both are similar in non-stop insane action.

Jûsan-nin no shikaku (2010) And probably the earlier one, too, I haven't seen that.
