Even back in the rape-filled days of the 1970's I can't imagine there was an American movie where the hero of the film is a guy who went around raping women. Even if he did it in the name of truth and justice and only to get vital information for a case like our Japanese cop Hanzo here I don't imagine it woulda went over very well. It just goes to show how far ahead of us in crazy-ass cinema Japan has been for a long time now.
In what's probably one of the most memorable scenes Mr. Hanzo goes through a vigorous workout to keep his cock(his "sword of justice"?) in tip-top shape. This includes fucking bags of rice and beating his schlong with a big wooden stick. Besides this we also get scenes of sexual assault and a great funky soundtrack that gives everything an extra sleazy blaxploitation-movie feel. On top of that it's also a beautifully shot almost artsy-looking example of something that probably looks extra-awesome on a big screen.
The weirdest aspect to this for me personally is that our main character is played by Shintaro Katsu who I recall mainly from playing Zatoichi The Blind Swordsman in that series of films and it really shows what a great actor that guy was since these two characters are like night and day.
This is the 1st part of a trilogy of Hanzo flicks and I need to check out the rest of the series soon.
