Extraordinary Samuri/sex and blaxploitation (soundtrack) mix that is really something else. A unique experience which has borrowed from the West and slotted those elements into the more usual Japanese swords and honour and blood feature. Lots of blood spurts actually, lots of sex too, which leads us to Mr Hanzo's unique interrogation technique (ladies only). We have seen him apparently toughening up his tool early on in rather dramatic fashion - large stick to bash it and a sack of rice to sink it in and out of, but little do we consider what is afoot. Once he has his suspect, he subjects her sex and then stops. She pleads for him to continue and he begins to bargain for information! As if this is not enough the scene with the lovely lady suspended naked in a net which is lowered and raised whilst he lays beneath it seems far to incredible and then he begins to spin it! There is a similar sequence in the 1975 US sexploitation, 'Girl in a Basket' which until now I had thought quite original. Hey ho, must now catch up with the sequels.
