“Crazy Samurai Musashi” is impressive, but it is a better fit for the classroom than the theater. Whatever issues one may find to take, there’s no denying that “Crazy Samurai Musashi” is a mammoth samurai war that Kurosawa himself would be in awe of. By his own account, he fought over sixty duels and won all of them.

Meanwhile, Sakaguchi, back out of semi-retirement, is a portrait of gruff control: the sheer fact that he could put together this impossible feat of cardio and choreography will leave you more breathless then even he is at his most ragged.

The movie was released in Japan on August 21, 2020, while it also premiered at the 2020 Fantasia International Film Festival, held online due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Yes, there are not a lot of bodies left in his wake after he's started ‘thwaking’ them on their heads or slashing their stomachs. Support the free press, so we can support Austin. When they attack as a group it quickly becomes clear he can kill any given one of his opponents effectively at will — because he is that good — but is at risk from their sheer number. When a foe is defeated, they don’t drop down on the ground, they seem to stumbled off the screen. In everything from the off-the-chain single shot action scenes in “Daredevil” to “1917”, structuring an entire movie to resemble one continuous shot, single-take action is a marvel to behold when it’s pulled off well. Nothing but action. Well, its obvious that the long 75-minute shot is the most memorable part of the film. So whether it’s about movies, books, training techniques, philosophy, stunts or seminars, we hope to inspire and stimulate your inner warrior! Yuji Shimomura’s new film, “Crazy Samurai Musashi,” is a stylized look at Musashi’s clash with the Yoshioka school of sword fighting in 1604.

This movie picks up as he is on his way to assassinate the latest head of the clan, a young boy, and sets about killing the entire clan, estimated to be around 400 bodies. You notice a lot of Musashi’s opponents have bushy hair sticking over a headband, and you realise those are the guys that Musashi whacks in the head because the hair’s hiding protective headgear. With a sword. But personally I found the film as a whole deeply satisfying. Yes, the fighting gets a little repetitive, broken up only by a rest period or the appearance of a Level Boss after every round. Choreographed action cinema is a series of moves and counter moves, numbering in the hundreds for lengthy, tightly choreographed cinema. But a little like Musashi himself, it does what it does very well. Effective movies have utilized all manner of effects to either film in one go or stitch together an entire movie from scratch and admittedly their ridiculous-sized budgets helped accomplish that goal, but there’s a powerful reward for ingenuity that “Crazy Samurai Musashi” doesn’t quite earn. All this hard work and nothing but a fun romp to show for it? And why others might be disappointed with the lack of showy violence, the absence of decapitations or blood spray (CGI aside, this is an oddly bloodless battle).

Head! But dozen after dozen after dozen? If real news is important to you, please consider making a donation of $5, $10 or whatever you can afford, to help keep our journalism on stands. While watching this, I didn’t really feel like I watching a movie. Additionally, a noticeable nitpick emerges after a while by the fact that Musashi and his enemies should be stepping over literal piles of bodies to get to one another. It's the perfect intersection of writer, star, and director for a near-impossible project. And with Japan’s answer to Donnie Yen single-handedly carrying the movie’s non-stop chop-aganza as the king of all samurai, crazy is as high a compliment as there can be for the out-and-out wild action blowout that is “Crazy Samurai Musashi”! It’s probably also a device to give Sakaguchi some rest. So after a while the mass of opponents divide up into groups of 20 or so, and Musashi moves from area to area, fighting these small bands. Zombiepura (Singapore 2018) - Movie Review. Too much CG blood, too many whipping swords, too many opponents. “Crazy Samurai Musashi” is directed by Shimomura Yuji, action director for “Kingdom”, and the lead actor is Sakaguchi Tak who played Saji in “Kingdom”.

The blood is replaced by low-fi CGI effects, any stabbing is done off screen and the two particular violent moments are obfuscated: one occurs behind a large pillar when Musashi emerges victorious but with blood smeared on his face, and the other is strangely covered up. Occasionally, he will find a single tougher opponent. A deadly, unstoppable samurai, Miyamoto Musashi, is stalking down the heads of the Yoshioka clan. And this is the part that’s either going to make or break your interest in this film. The Yoshioka clan is preparing for a duel against the famed samurai Miyamoto Musashi, following the death of their master Seijuro, by his blade. Crazy Samurai Musashi takes about five minutes to establish its exceedingly simple premise: the Yoshioka clan must dispatch their entire army if they hope to vanquish the man they set out to kill, Miyamoto Musashi (Tak Sakaguchi).Then, the film commits to a 77-minute single take action sequence, in which Musashi does away with hundreds of swordsmen. But if you're looking at the nuances of a master of violence using minimal energy for maximum lethality, then it's an insight into the mind of a warrior.
