General Comments
Shogun Assassin was banned in the 1980's for the level of gore it contained. I think that the censors were too harsh in their treatment of the film. This is a solid samurai story of vengence and the tale of a father and son's journy of revenge. There is plenty of action and lots of gore, but it still tells a touching story, worth seeing.
