While I think list members would enjoy this movie, it really in many
ways is a cheezy kids flick. There are at least three of them.

This is a truly bizarre film, I do think list members will enjoy it,
just don't let your 'gaki' watch it.

What about Musashi? Still T&M was much better than Shinsengumi.
Other films about historical characters that I think are fun are Onmyoji
and one of the cheesiest ninja flicks, Sudden Death!
