Product Information
導演：五社英雄
Director:Gosha Hideo
「武林三殺手」是日本武俠電影高手五英雄的第一部作品。影片原「三匹之侍」，原是五社在富士電視台監製兼導演的連續劇，因為收視高企，所以引起了松竹公司的注意，決羅致五社成為基本導演，把刻集拍成大電影，同樣由丹波哲郎飾演遊俠柴左近，結果賣了個滿堂紅。影片的故術有點像黑澤明的「七俠四義」，都是描寫幾個素眛生平的浪人武士怎樣聯手為農民對抗強權，但五社只一心經營激烈的武打場面和生動的人物性格，豪情萬丈的氣魄，使人看得十分過癮，也奠定了五社日後的位。影片對後來香港影壇流行的新武術片有很大的影響。
Shiba, a wandering ronin, encounter a band of peasants who have kidnapped the daughter of their dictorial magistrate, in hopes of coercing from him a reduction in taxes. Shiba takes up their fight, joined by two renegades from the magistrate's guard, Sakura and Kikyo. The three outlaws find themselves in a battle to the death. This is the directorial debut of Gosha Hideo, considered to be the master of samurai action films in Japan. Like his other as follow, Three Outlaw Samurai reveals an expectation strong visual sense in Gosha's direction. Almost every frame is well composed and effective. The film salo contains some of the best choreographed and most graphically violent swordfighting scenes in the history of the samurai cinema.

Timeless chanbara classic
|
"Three Outlaw Samurai" is the seventh Gosha Hideo-directed film I've seen and, although I recommend them all, this one may be my favorite. This film has it all -- great action, great performances, innovative cinematography, an intriguing story, romance... Believe me, there is never a dull moment in this samurai classic. Although this was Gosha's first feature film, it is a fully mature work because it was based upon characters developed in a Gosha-directed television series of the same name. The dynamic Tetsuro Tamba stars as Shiba, a ronin who stumbles upon a dispute between a greedy magistrate and the starving farmers he is abusing. Three of the farmers have taken the magistrate's daughter Aya (Miyuki Kuwano) hostage as a bargaining chip as they seek relief from the confiscatory taxation of the magistrate. Shiba first looks on in bemusement at the farmers' fumbling attempts to stand up for themselves, but soon throws in his lot with their righteous cause. As the movie progresses, two more ronin, the scruffy former farmer Sakura (Isamu Nagato) and the elegantly corrupt Kikyo (Mikijiro Hira) side with the farmers, leading to a confrontation between this motley crew and the prefecture's best swordsmen. The film ends with a grim coda that contrasts the heroic behavior of the three ronin with the sheepish, cowardly nature of the people whose interests they sought to defend. As with almost all of Gosha's films, "Three Outlaw Samurai" is filled with plots within plots that drew me into the movie and kept me on the edge of my seat. All three of the lead actors give larger-than-life, memorable performances, as does Miss Kuwano, who transforms from a spoiled child to a noble heroine during the course of the film. My only quibble with this DVD is that there are occasional synchronization problems with the English subtitles; the subtitles sometimes appear a couple beats after the words are spoken, causing the viewer some momentary confusion. Nonetheless, I found this to be one of the most engaging and enjoyable samurai films I've ever seen and I recommend it very, very highly. |
