Shinobi No Mono - Collector's Set Vol. 1 (DVD, 2009, 4-Disc Set)

THE SHINOBI NO MONO SERIES TAKES PLACE IN THE EARLY 1500'S DURING THE MOST VIOLENT TIME IN JAPANS HISTORY, FILMED IN 1962 THIS WAS ONE OF THE MOST VIOLENT PICTURES OF ITS TIME. MASSAKI HATSUMI IS THE HEAD OF THE MODERN NINJUTSU ORGINAZATION CALLED "BUJINKAN" HE WAS THE TECHNICAL ADVISOR AND IT IS RUMORED THAT HIS TEACHER TAKAMATSU WAS ALSO INVOLVED. THIS MOVIE IS NOT JUST FOR NINJA FANS BUT ALL SAMURAI/MARTIAL ARTS FANS WILL FIND THIS MOVIE ENJOYABLE. MY FAVORITE THING ABOUT THIS MOVIE IS THE FACT THAT IT CO-STARS AN ACTOR WHO WOULD 10 YEARS LATER WOULD BECOME ONE OF JAPANS BIGGEST STARS WAKAYAMA TOMISABURO FROM SHOGUN ASSASIN/LONE WOLF AND CUB AND ALSO FEATURES YUNOSUKE ITO WHO PLAYED RESUDO YAGU,THE OLD WHITE HAIRED MASTER FROM LONE WOLF. THE MOVIES STAR RAIZO WAS CALLED THE JAPANESE JAMES DEAN MOST FAMOUSE FOR HIS ROLE IN THE SLEEPY EYES OF DEATH + 150 MORE MOVIES. IN MY HUMBLE OPINION MOVIES LIKE LONE WOLF SERIES AND SHINOBI NO MONO SERIES MAKE MOVIES LIKE 7 SAMURAI SEEM LAME....ANOTHER GOOD OLD NINJA MOVIE IS CASTLE OF OWLS THIS ONE IS IN COLOR ... THERE IS A VERY NICE WEBSITE CALLED "VINTAGE NINJA" WHERE YOU CAN FIND OUT MORE ABOUT MOVIES AND NINJA STUFF....ENJOY!
