That the second film, 'Love Song,' does not match its predecessor only shows that sequels are seldom equal. It is still a good view, however.

70's Samurai action ... mixes drama and historical relevance with the mostly two-dimensional villains and wholesale slaughter that you'd expect from a good chop-sake' film.

Kill Bill was no doubt based on the first, But i stort of liked this more (And oh yes don't forget Sex and Fury another pink film made here). Though i stort of liked this one's narration more and the rate the story went. Still everything is perfect and a big thumbs up for the soundtrack!

An ambitious plot that doesn't go very far. Kaji barely has something to do, or say, aside from dispatching the bad guys when the time demands it. The socio-political commentary is interesting at first, but everything boils down to the usual "kill the bad guys and everything will get fixed" angle. Not bad, but there's no rush to see this one.
