    "Dokuro contains one of the best fight scenes in chambara, possibly ever. Ichikawa Utaemon takes on an onslaught of assassins inside a temple, in what can be considered more of a dance than an outright battle. The entire scene is amazingly choreographed; strikes are precise, movements are untentative, and movements are fluid. Unlike many B-grade chambara where the bad guys are stumbling idiots who couldn’t hit the ground and swing their swords like toddlers carrying rattles, the men in Dokuro know what they’re doing. And despite the “dance-like” nature of the choreography, the scenes are surprisingly realistic. The dark rooms contrasting Ichikawa’s white garb inside an ornately decorated temple create a beautiful atmosphere. Certainly a fight to remember." 11 years 10 months ago
