Description
Summary:"This is the second of eight Japanese historical dramas released from 1962-66 by Daiei Pictures. The hero of the series is a ninja named Ishikawa Goemon who struggles to survive during Japan's warring-states period. Faced with an enemy who wants to destroy all ninja, Goemon and his wife escape to a forest to avoid execution. But after they are found and their home invaded Goemon vows revenge and manages to turn one foe against another. After Goemon slaughters one enemy in a savage temple battle, his arch foe declares all-out war on another enemy. A well-staged spectacle from start to finish, this vintage martial-arts film paved the way for much of the genre that followed"--www.eurofilmsltd.com.
