Bohachi Bushido: Code of the Forgotten Eight (Blu-ray)

In this classic of 1970s Japanese cinema, the legendary actor Tetsuro Tanba stars as Shiro, a master swordsman known as "The Assassin". Weary of the world of samurai honor and samurai killing, he attempts suicide in the middle of a huge swordfight by leaping into a fast flowing river. He is saved by the Bohachi clan, a gang of vicious pimps who have forsaken all honour and whose cynicism outruns even his own. But ultimately, he tires even of their nihilistic worldview, leading to a final showdown in the snow where he takes on a small army of brutal killers.

Full of flying limbs, naked lady ninjas, drug-induced hallucinations, cackling villains and wild action set-pieces, BOHACHI BUSHIDO is one of director Teruo Ishii's most deranged and impressive spectacles. We are extremely excited to bring you the world HD disc debut of this incredible cult film in a brand new exclusive 4K restoration with many exclusive extras.
