Trivia:
The forest locations, in near Mt. Chokai in Akita Prefecture, were inaccessible by road, and so all the equipment needed - including two imported Panavision cameras - had to be carried in by hand, a thirty-minute trek each way. moreQuotes:

GOJOE takes a little getting used to at first, but the final result is very satisfying. The tale, about a murderous samurai who seeks to redeem himself by opposing an effeminate, but dangerous samurai, is worth more than a watch. There is a lot at stake here, from physical survival to soulful salvation. The movie may seem a bit similar to other anime-inspired Samurai film at first, but it does eventually delve into more mature/adult territory soon after.
Not to be missed. GOJOE is one of the better samurai movies to come around post-Kurosawa.
