Kaksi kilpailevaa samuraiklaania käy veristä sotaa, kun ampumiseen mieltynyt kiertolainen ilmestyy paikalle. Voiko hän johdattaa klaanit ikivanhan kultaaarteen jäljille? Ja onnistuuko hän huijaamaan heitä niin, että hän pääsee itse livahtamaan tiehensä saalis mukanaan? (Nordisk Film Fin.)

Now that is a joke! The Japanese have made a "spaghetti western" in which they appropriate what is theirs, i.e., all the basic building blocks of similar stories, by which the world inspired (mainly) Akira Kurosawa, they mixed it with something else, and they didn't bother with a meaningful story... And it worked. I had a great time with it. Great color stylization, choreography of shootouts, funny gore (the cross), samurai sword vs. colt duel... Entertainment that gets four pure stars. ()
This time, I was really disappointed with what I saw. As much as I like Miike's stylization, it didn't work for a western. I wouldn't mind a western with Japanese elements, but this is really tacky, where even the story gets lost. But Tarantino delighted me in the paperboard settings. Otherwise, however, it remains rather disappointing. ()
