Blade of the Ripper
The film was promoted as being director Takashi Miike's 100th film, but it isn't. Although it was at one time his 100th directing credit on IMDb, that list also includes several TV series, TV episodes, and segments of other films. According to some calculations, Miike has directed over 100 works, including music videos and short films, but (at the time of Blade of the Immortal's release) fewer than 90 were feature films.,Rin Asano: But do right and wrong matter when it's for people you love?,Remade as Mugen no jûnin: Immortal (2019),Live to Die Another Day - Sonzai Shomei
Written by Miyavi, Lenny Skolnik, Tom Leonard and Amon Hayashi
Performed by Miyavi,Yes, there's A LOT of blood since this is a Takashi Miike film and it's always a pleasure to see Kimura Takuya do his thing on screen. For anyone familiar with the genre, what was unexpected, but welcome, was the treatment of characters trying to find their way, each with their own sense of motivation, and reflections on the murky way of revenge. Ultimately everyone that picks up their weapon must deal with their own demons and justifications.,
