Fall of Ako Castle Toshiro Mifune Sonny Chiba Kinji Fukasaku Blu-ray Eureka

Description: Kinji Fukasaku's tale of loyalty, betrayal, and brutal samurai carnage! Introducing Eureka's Limited Edition Blu-ray release for 1978's The Fall of Ako Castle. Kinji Fukasaku (Battle Royale) brings together an ensemble cast, including two icons of Japanese cinema — Toshiro Mifune (Seven Samurai) and Sonny Chiba (The Street Fighter) — for this samurai epic, a retelling of the classic story of the 47 ronin. When an injustice costs his master his life and estate, loyal retainer Oishi (Kinnosuke Yorozuya, Bushido) vows revenge. Because the target of his vengeance is protected by the ruling shogunate, any retaliation would be seen as an act of treason. Oishi assembles the remaining ranks of the now-masterless samurai and the 47 of them pledge a blood oath to avenge their slain lord. Tensions rise among the ranks of the ronin eager to launch the mission, as Oishi bides his time awaiting the right time to strike. Enemy spies and assassins track Oishi, who has seemingly fallen into vice: Has he lost his sense of honour, or is it just a part of his plan? The Fall of Ako Castle offers a moving tale of loyalty, betrayal, and sacrifice where classical history explodes into brutal samurai carnage. The Masters of Cinema Series is proud to present Fukasaku’s retelling of one of Japan’s most resonant events.100% Brand New and Factory SealedPacked with extra CARE with USPS First Class serviceDiscount/combined shipping if multiple items are ordered =)Photos in gallery is a sample of our actual in-stock itemShips from Las Vegas, USAIMPORTANT NOTE: An all-region Blu-ray player is required to view this movie.
