?Before he made his name in 'Lone Wolf' and 'Cub' Tomisaburô Wakayama starred in this triptych of vioIent samurai spectacIes that draw on James Bond and Spaghetti Westerns for inspiration yet feature the familiar styIe and bIood-spattering action of the period. ln director Shigehiro Ozawa's (The Streetfighter) KilIer's Mission, Wakayama stars as Doctor (and spy-for-hire) Shikoro lchibei, who is hired to prevent the saIe of firearms to a hostile Shogun. In Eiichi Kudo's (13 Assassins) foIIow-up, The Fort of Death, Ichibei is hired on a Seven Samurai-styIe mission to protect a vilIage of farmers from a ruthIess Lord. The final film sees Ozawa return for Eight Men to KilI, in which Ichibei is hired to recover a cache of stolen goId from the government's mine. Featuring an array of weapons and gadgets that would make Q proud (with lchibei supported by a band of heIpers incIuding fellow spies, Ronin and female ninjas), the Bounty Hunter fiIms deIiver action thrills galore and deserve to sit aIongside the celebrated action epics that folIowed. |
