Neil Miller actually said that you can’t cut a human body in half???? Neil you seriously need to read more factual reference books about Samurai culture and the swords per se. Swords in Feudal Japan were based upon body cuts and the number they could effectively cut thru before stopping. There were 3, 4 and even 5 body swords and they were highly prized by their owners and passed down to their descendants. To make such an asinine comment and then defend the types of movies you normally praise is incredible.

Ok lets touch on the blood aspect, you do realize that blood is not the same color in your body, right? There is dark and bright red blood, the bright colored blood is oxygenated that has come from the heart. The dark blood is blood returning to the heart to be re oxygenated. Now I agree that the blood in the movie was a little over the top, but give me a break, this movie did not at any time portray itself as a fact based account of ‘Ninja Assassins”. It was an homage to the Ninja movies of the 80’s and it hit the nail on the head, dead bang. Sho Kasugi showed that even at 60 he is a bad assed MF’er. Seriously Neil you need to go and watch ninja scroll to realize all the elements that movie lent itself to this one, In short I loved the movie, great action, perfect swordsmanship, nice twists
