Hanzo the Razor: Who's Got the Gold?
Directed by Yoshio Inoue
Produced by TOHO, Katsu Production
A bawdy, kinetic samurai exploitation film that blends supernatural elements, sexual transgression, and action-driven plotting with the irreverent tone of 1970s chambara cinema.
Hanzo extracts a confession from a ghost using his assaulting methods, foils thieves, connects with Heisuke Takei a friend from his youth, offers protection to a forward-thinking physician Genan Sugino who has defamed his ruler, discovers a pleasure ring of young wives and a blind music teacher, and cuckolds a corrupt official under his very nose.
