BOHACHI BUSHIDO (Japan, 1973)
The legendary actor Tetsuro Tanba stars as Shiro, a master swordsman who is weary of the world of samurai honor and samurai killing, and so attempts suicide rather than finishing a fight. He is saved by the Bohachi clan, a gang of pimps who have forsaken all honor and whose cynicism outruns even his own. But ultimately, he even tires of their nihilistic worldview, leading to a final showdown in the snow ...
Full of flying limbs, naked lady ninjas, drug-induced hallucinations, and cackling villains, BOHACHI BUSHIDO is one of director Ishii's most deranged and impressive spectacles. We are extremely excited to bring you the world HD disc debut of this incredible cult film in a brand new exclusive 4K restoration.
