The last chapter in the epic samurai-drama saga I grew up with.. Took forever to find it subbed. Almost kind of sad, last time seeing Shintaro Katsu as Ichi.. Although I recently read there was a spinoff by Toho which doesn't look that bad and I really digged Beat Takeshi's 2003 work with Zatoichi too.
That movie pretty much sucked, comparing it to all the other Zatoichi movies... Sure, the last 15 minutes were awesome when he wrecked like 50 people, but the magic of the old films was lost.

Beat Takeshi's movie was good though.... doubtful we'll see anymore Z films for quite some time though, if ever.

EDIT: Why did you have trouble finding it subtitled? I remember renting the DVD back in 2004 or so at the local Blockbuster and it was subbed and dubbed.
