Shintaro Katsu is the king of Japanese Pinky Violence! He stars in the Hanzo The Razor trilogy and the Lone Wolf And Cub series. Both are must owns for fans of the genre. These Hanzo movies have the perfect mix of plot and depravity. Even the most desensitized among us will cringe, but the story line, while ludicrous at times, does not disappoint. This 2005 special edition box set has good production values and nice packaging. Enjoy. !!!NOT FOR CHILDREN (or feminists)!!!
I saw these movies for the first time and loved them within the first 15 minutes.

Throw political correctness out the window. This is hanzo the Razor,an edo era beat cop who uses his sharp wit,sword, and 'tool' to get to the root of the crime. made in the 70's, everything is over the top. A testosterone fueled romp through the past. Quentin Tarantino fans won't be disappointed.
Fans of Japanese cinema will recognize this as an indisputable classic. Must have really stretched the limits of censorship, perhaps Shintaro Katsu's massive popularity cut some slack from the pencil pushers. This original USA release Animeigo version is long out of print, but another Bonzai Media Corp. version is available. Those who enjoyed the Lone Wolf With Cub(aka Shogun's Samurai) and Zatoichi movies would probably like the Hanzo series with a caveat: it is much more, um, risque.
