Canada Post Strike
Go from soldier to Shogun in the rare and outlandish action adventure. Ever wondered how a tank would fare against an ancient army? Strap in for the action-packed, genre-bending spectacle G.I. SAMURAI (SENGOKU JIEITAI), starring martial arts legend Sonny Chiba. Packed with explosive clashes of metal versus sword, Chiba's signature physical intensity, and a pulsing '70s soundtrack, G.I. SAMURAI delivers a high-octane fusion of sci-fi, historical drama, and all-out action.
G.I. SAMURAI has been carefully restored in 4K by Kadokawa.
When a modern-day Japanese Self-Defense Force platoon, led by Lieutenant Yoshiaki Iba (Chiba), is mysteriously transported to Japan's Warring States era, they find themselves in a world of samurai, warlords, and endless conflict. For Iba, survival isn't enough; he sees a path to seize power, forging an alliance with a ruthless daimyo in a bid for supremacy.
