Tanba Tetsuro stars as a bitter ninja trying to disrupt a revenge scheme by the disgraced Asano clan's ronin. His team of sexy female ninja uses their charms and almost magical techniques to seduce the ronin away from their oaths. By the end, only 47 Ronin remain. The film features signature noir cinematography and an experimental score that enhances the action. With a sardonic tone and plenty of shuriken and sword fighting, this 60s Japanese ninja oddity does not disappoint, especially with Tanba’s captivating performance.
