Before starring in John Wick: Chapter 4 and Shogun, Hiroyuki Sanada got to showcase his physical prowess in his first lead role with 1980s Shoguns Ninja, a madcap martial arts caper energetically directed by Norifumi Suzuki (Wandering Ginza Butterfly) and co-starring Sanadas mentor, the legendary Sonny Chiba. During the Warring States period, a lone man on a small boat approaches the shores of Japan. His name is Takamaru Momochi, heir to the Iga clan, returning after ten years of hiding in China and fully intent on finding the ruthless ninja Shiranui (Chiba), the man who betrayed and murdered his father. But with Shiranui and his thugs now in control of the country, Takamaru must gather the scattered remnants of his clan and train in the shadowy art of ninjutsu so they can mount a guerrilla resistance, defeat the corrupt ninja and restore the Igas honor. Packed with explosive fight sequences and acrobatic stunts courtesy of Chibas team the Japan Action Club, and co-starring Etsuko Shihomi (Sister Street Fighter) and Asao Koike (G.I. Samurai), Shoguns Ninjas frenzied blend of Japanese period drama, hyperviolent karate movie and action-comedy stands out as an unmissable entry in Japanese martial arts cinema.Bonus MaterialsLIMITED EDITION CONTENTSHigh Definition (1080p) Blu-ray presentationOriginal lossless mono Japanese and English-dubbed mono audioOptional English subtitlesBrand new audio commentary by Asian cinema expert Chris PoggialiThe Rebirth of Japanese Action Cinema, a brand new interview with Japanese cinema expert Clment RaugerCollectors booklet featuring new writing on the film by Earl JacksonReversible sleeve featuring original and newly commissioned artwork by Chris Skinner
