Goofs
In the shot with a bamboo spear filled with gold pieces flying into the pond, the flight the spear takes is impossible, as the weight of the gold would have flipped it over.

Japanese Godfather trilogy... not in the good way

The first two were fun in an almost campy way. What Hanzo does with his anatomical weapon - both in its development and deployment - is quite unique in the film annals from ANY country. His loyal, yet cowardly aides add a more intentional bit of comic relief from Hanzo's stoic approach women or warfare.

Worst of all, this finale rivals Godfather III for the title of worst sequel dropoff on either side of the Pacific. I'd hoped for him to exit on a high note both morally and aurally, with the latter coming from a satisfied partner. This one ends with a bang that manages to be a whisper.
