this movie is the definition of guilty pleasure.although sho kosugi is indeed a real life master,this movie makes him look both cool and stupid.he shows he can handle just about any weapon and can kick some ass.some of the movie's stupid scenes are when a lifesize dummy of braden pops out on the rooftop at the end and the village people like bad guys are lame.also the part where the sumo servent is raping cathy just comes off as being stupid. all in all though a movie that is good dumb fun!
