When the wife of the Shogun's Decapitator is murdered and he is ordered to commit suicide, he and his four-year-old son escape and become assassins for hire, embarking on a journey of blood and violent death. No small influence on Quentin Tarantino, the Mandalorian & Grogu, and countless others, join us for the kinetic 1980 sword-flying original. We are thrilled to welcome customer & friend of the shop Sean Fennessey (The Big Picture podcast) to introduce the film. Rotten Tomato reviewers chime in — “… a visceral tour de force, an audacious synthesis of ultra-violent stylization and cinematic minimalism that elevates samurai spectacle…” “ … full of over-the-top violence. If you love samurai movies you'll love this.” “Absolute classic. One of the movies that inspired Tarantino's Kill Bill!!!! ” Directed by Robert Houston & Kenji Misumi | Written by Robert Houston, Kazuo Koike (manga), Goseki Kojima (manga), & David Weismann | 1980 | 1h 25m | Rated R | Presented by arrangement with Janus Films Doors 7:30 Film 8 | $14 via Partiful or at the door if seats remain | HD projection on 14’ screen Chairs & cushions provided | Concessions available 4102 N Figueroa St Los Angeles 90065 Street parking See you at the microcinema!
