Storyline

An orphan named Taro killed who Tein-Hei told her was the killer of his family. Taro found out, years later that Tein-Hei is the true killer and the man he killed was his father. Taro's revenge attempts start off a trail of assassinations and ninja swords fights spanning from Hokaido, Alaska to California where Tien-Hei's secrets gradually unfold. The revenge road leads to a climactic battle with Tien-Hei on the fall of Japan's Shogun-era. Written by Tzung-I Lin <tzung@hugo.att.com>

Quotes

Andô Shouzan: Missed out on dying, did you? I doubt that one would go out of his way to be resurrected in a place like this, but as long as you've been saved, just give up and recuperate. Get that noxious viciousness out of your system and wake up to your hunger, why don't you.

Definitely not a children's movie
8 July 1999 | by (DVD Drive-In) – See all my reviews

When I saw this movie at age 6, it was in the CHILDRENS' section at Erols Video because it was animation. We watched it and it was a whole different ball game! A very violent story and graphic deaths are VERY entertaining and compelling, but not for children. Avoid for family viewing, my mom nearly had a heart attack and ripped the video apart!
