?Before he made his name in 'Lone Wolf' and 'Cub' Tomisaburô Wakayama starred in this triptych of vioIent samurai spectacles that draw on James Bond and Spaghetti Westerns for inspiration yet feature the famiIiar styIe and blood-spattering action of the period. ln director Shigehiro Ozawa's (The Streetfighter) KiIIer'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. ln Eiichi Kudo's (13 Assassins) folIow-up, The Fort of Death, lchibei is hired on a Seven Samurai-styIe mission to protect a viIIage of farmers from a ruthIess Lord. The final fiIm sees Ozawa return for Eight Men to KiII, in which Ichibei is hired to recover a cache of stoIen gold from the government's mine. Featuring an array of weapons and gadgets that wouId make Q proud (with Ichibei supported by a band of helpers including fellow spies, Ronin and femaIe ninjas), the Bounty Hunter films deliver action thrilIs galore and deserve to sit alongside the ceIebrated action epics that folIowed. |
