BOUNTY HUNTER 1: THE KILLERS MISSION (1969) - NEWLY REMASTERED VERSION
Shokin Kasegi - Shikiro Ichibei is an expert swordsman who likes to use ingenious secret weapons and gimmicks on his missions for the Shogun.
Ichibei is assigned by Shogun Tokugawa to prevent the sale of a Dutch ships-load of rifles to the hostile Satsuma Clan. On his mission he meets a Ronin who becomes his assistant, as well as a female spy and a female warrior. We also find out he is impervious to viper venom and can turn his sword scabbard into a telescope.
Intrigue and action occur as he makes his journey towards the Dutch ship carrying the armaments. When arriving in Satsuma Ichibei poses as a blind masseuse which is sort of fun since Wakayama's brother, Shintaro Katsu was playing Zatoichi at the time. This is the second film Wakayama poked fun at his more successful brother. The film makes obvious nods to the spy thriller and it's rather bloody. We can see glimpses of the future Lone Wolf series as Tomisaburo Wakayama ably jumps, flips and slices his way thru the action scenes.
