Its a Tak's documentary movie

It seems like not much information about behind of the scene has passed to oversea. This movie supposed to be a totally different film, call Ken-kichi. Tak was going to make a one single take action with just 10 mins. Although this movie has cancelled because director couldn't work for the film anymore. Tak still wanted to make a movie because he has been practicing a real samurai fright for an year with a his stunt team. All camera and staffs schedule has booked already, Tak has decided to make a movie with one long action movie. They didnt have a time to make a story line much. Yuji Shimomura directed only first part and last part. Why 77mins?? because to make a movie, have to be more than 70mins.

I have to say that this movie isn't movie. Its a Tak's documentary. They didn't make an action design at all, just stunt guys(his stunt team) tried to kill him seriously lol (except some guys got killed by belly who runs into Tak without any action). Even Tak said that real fight looks simple. Everybody has got used to watch "designed action movie" so most of people thinks this movie action is too simple. Tak has got injured during the movie, broken ribs, finger, teeth. Also Tak has to retired because he became PTSD because of this movie. Couldn't even hold a sword, he vomit everytime he hold a sword.

I think if you know a behind of the movie, you feel different way to watch a movie.

score 10/10
