Best of Hanzo films


First one us good, campy and funny. The last one is pretty bad, very shallow and dumb.

The second, directed by Masumura (Blind Beast is awsome), is the best of the series because of the great script and brilliant director that manages to pull out of Gonzo some deep and complex emotions.
It is also most erotic of the three, with more nudity and perversive sexual behavior.
Great stuff.

Yes, the mystery in the second was much more compelling than the first as there was much more at stake--among other things, clashing with a high level member of the Shogunate, a couple of powerful government agencies, a very large and violent gang of robbers, privilaged religious leaders and a duel with one of Japan's best swordsmen.
