An essential rediscovery for movie fans and martial arts maniacs! Be one of the very first audiences in more than 50 years to experience this ultra-rare, one-of-a-kind 35mm print of the long-thought-lost Chinese version of the film, featuring a variety of changes, alternate footage, and a different ending!
It’s East meets East when one of Japan’s action idols crosses paths with an iconic kung-fu hero from Hong Kong. While traveling the countryside, Zatoichi comes across Wang Kang (Jimmy Wang Yu), a Chinese swordsman protecting a brutally orphaned young child. Despite the language barrier, the men forge a friendship, until nefarious enemies plant seeds of distrust to pit the two master martial artists against each other. (Janus)
