Seven Samurai, 13 Assassins, now this. If all are true, this is fantastic news!!

Now if Zavvi could start doing some cheesy 80's Sword & Sorcery BD steelbooks, I'd be in heaven.

Japanese film? Awesome. Never seen it..think I may have heard of it though. Either ways it'll be pre-ordered day one

It's a pretty good remake of the Zatoichi films from the 60's and 70's. The tone is much more serious compared to the funny/goofy nature of the character from the old movies.

The UK releases cover already looked pretty cool, so I wouldn't mind if the steel is just like that

It also had literally the worst ending to anything I've seen, I'm still stunned they did that

Did what? It's been a while since I've seen it so I'm not sure what you're referring to.

UK - Zatoichoi - Zavvi Exclusive
High quality matte finish with brushed steel on title font. This creates a mad effect which I've tried to photograph from different angles.

casperuk · 11-28-2013, 10:24 PM

Ordered this for a mate of mine who loves this movie. He hasn'. Seen it yet but it's such a nice Steele. Don't wanna give him it

Michael1989 · 11-29-2013, 11:36 AM

Looks so nice. Can't wait to get mine. Would of had it by now if I didn't cancel my preorder. Had to wait until today until I had more money. Also looks it's gone down to £12.99

rickah88 · 11-30-2013, 06:00 PM

As always, thank you for the pics ricster!
I did miss preordering this, but I might have to add it. It does look quite stunning!
