"Crazy Samurai Musashi" is a fight rather than a story. There's not much plot,
but that's hardly the point; Tak Sakaguchi spends most of the film fighting
his way through one opponent after another.
The choreography suffers from the decision to film the main fight in a single
take. The sheer length makes the action less impressive than it might have
been with more conventional editing; as another reviewer has pointed out,
there's not a single decapitation or severed arm. The fight is often said
to last 77 minutes, but on my Blu-ray the uninterrupted sequence runs for 74
minutes and 43 seconds. That's still one hell of a fight!
The film has been released with different titles. I'll stick to "Crazy Samurai
Musashi", which is written on the film's title screen.
