The Story
Samurai Reincarnation (1981) directed by Kinji Fukusaku (Battle Royale) is a spectacular chanbara fantasy epic, with a stellar cast of Japanese actors (Sonny Chiba, Hiroyuki Sanada, Ken Ogata, Kenji Sawada and Akiko Kana).
In the aftermath of a failed rebellion, Amakusa Shiro (Kenji Sawada) is crucified, but returns as a vengeance-filled demon with the power to resurrect the dead. Shiro uses his power to assemble a team of undead warriors—including legendary swordsman Miyamoto Musashi (Ken Ogata)—and the only one who can stop them is the wandering samurai, Yagyu Jubei (Sonny Chiba).
