Eureka in the UK is to release a special collectors edition of the classic Samurai double feature Samurai Wolf 1 and 2. from director Hideo Gosha.
Samurai Wolf and Samurai Wolf II, tell the story of a charismatic ronin named Kiba (played by Isao Natsuyagi).
In the first film, Kiba wanders into a small town and ends up ensnared in a local conflict that’s more than meets the eye. In Samurai Wolf II, Kiba gets mixed up in a complex web of intrigue, involving a crooked goldmine owner, a cynical swordsman and an arrogant dojo master.
With stunning black-and-white cinematography and ultra-stylish action sequences, the Samurai Wolf films are a lean, mean triumph of samurai cinema. The Masters of Cinema series is proud to present both films for the first time in the UK on Blu-ray.
Special Features on this set announced so far are –
Limited edition O-Card slipcase featuring new artwork by Tony Stella | Presented in 1080p HD from restorations of the original film elements by Toei | Uncompressed original Japanese Mono audio | Optional English subtitles | Audio commentary on Samurai Wolf by film historian and writer Chris Poggiali | Outlaw Director – Hideo Gosha featurette with Tomoe Gosha | Reversible sleeve featuring original poster artwork | PLUS: A collector’s booklet featuring new writing on the film by Japanese cinema expert Tom Mes | And more to be announced…
