About

You can stream Zatoichi Meets the One-Armed Swordsman (1971) on Criterion Channel with a subscription.

Zatoichi is a blind massage therapist and swordsman who finds out that something troubling is taking place on the outskirts of town. After discovering who the guilty parties are -- an accomplished Chinese martial artist named Wang Kang and his youthful attendant -- Zatoichi finds them and discovers that the pair's mixed up with a dangerous bunch of terrorist samurai who murdered the boy's parents. Now, Zatoichi must step in to save the day.

A heavy sense of honor and impending violence hangs over this collision of legendary combat styles. The blind swordsman's rhythmic cane-work meets a lethal, single-handed martial arts precision in a clash of pure kinetic energy.
