Description:

Sengoku Yaro - It's the Warring States Period and as Ninja Ochi Kittan wanders through enemy territory, he must defend himself against numerous attacks from a rival ninja clan.

While traveling he befriends a country Samurai, and the pair soon join forces with Kinoshita Tokichiro (later to be known as Toyotomi Hideyoshi) in smuggling 300 matchlock rifles (tanegashima) to Oda Nobunaga. Helped by a band of Bashaku (freight transporters) they must fight impossible odds against the Ninja of Takeda Shingen who lay in ambush and seemingly attack at every bend in the road.

Plenty of action and swordplay in this classic old school Samurai Flick
