Synopsis by Clarke Fountain
This is the fifteenth installment in the series of humorous and bloody martial arts movies featuring the nearly supernatural skills of the resourceful blind masseur and master swordsman Zatoichi. In this movie, with casual skill, he yet again easily defeats the bad guys and never (never!) even comes close to losing his sang-froid, his imperturbability, his cool -- call it what you will.
