Samurai Trilogy 2: Duel at Ichijoji Temple

This is the second installment of the Samurai Trilogy and I'd have to say I liked this a little bit more than the first. Towards the end all I could think of is Kill Bill: Vol. 1. I know that Quentin Tarantino is a big asian film buff and I would be surprised if this wasn't one of his influences. At one point you have Takezo challenging someone to a duel. Instead of facing Takezo, his 80 minions plot and plan an ambush to try and kill him. Surprisingly enough, Takezo outwits them and kills many of them with his sword. At one point he even has two swords. Sound familiar? I'm looking forward to part three.
