Saizo's Son was thrown into the kettle of boiling oil, by Hideyoshi, shortly after Saizo was pushed in. *Spoiler Alert* In the Japanese original story it was Goemon who was thrown into the oil with his son for attempting to assassinate Hideyoshi and getting caught. Goemon saved his son's life by holding him above the oil as he was boiled alive. It was a nice twist how Kazuaki Kiriya depicted how those events took place. Amazing movie, amazing review. Hope that everyone enjoys it as much as I did and takes the time to do a little research into the Japanese Sengoku era. Very interesting time period to study up on.

I do agree it's not really a progression from Kazuaki Kiriya's earlier film Casshern, and it has more mass-appeal, but in the end one can't deny it was 120 minutes of visually intriguing ass-kickery. For me, Kiriya is definitely becoming one of the directors to look forward to in the future.

It's what you'd expect in a fantasy movie. It's hard to find a movie like this in the States. This is definitely exotic cinema. I have seen this movie and this review is right on all corners.
