In other words, maybe I have seen Ichi, but suspect not, and that it was just one of the many copycats. I know Rutger Hauer went there. That was before he lost his home, hopped a boxcar and got himself a shotgun.
glad you're on board with this now, cf. i'm still aghast that you've gotten so deep into the chanbara genre already and you just discovered ichi...
BTW, this was the last movie in Criterion's Mifune retrospective, not counting the final The Last Samurai documentary, which DM has seen. I'll review that shortly on that thread.
