Satan's Sword (1960)
Terrible script, bad editing, boring storyline
12 November 2020
This was perhaps one of the worst Japanese samurai movies I've ever watched. The storyline was heavily patched and segmented, very uninteresting most of the time. Guy with a katana sword with somewhat nonchalant stance which scared most of his opponents and frightened them to death. Then when in close combat, all his opponents seemed to be just so slow to cut him, everybody just purposedly a step slow to allow him to cut them. It just looked so staged to compy with the screenplay, but just looked so stupid. Then at the betting game, the loser new comer young woman had to be stripped down every time when somebody won, what a ballony! Like the western poker game played by man and woman, the loser woman got to strip down until naked? WTF? It also looked more clueless in the later part, suddenly a bunch of assassins tried to ambush an opponent? How this twist was developed was completely beyond my comprehenshion. I was so clueless but even so, I just felt extremely bored to watch on. This so-called Satan's sword or swordmanship simiply just a worthless exeggeration. A big Zzzz.
