Versus

Got to admit,this is one of my favourite Japanese action films.It's a lot of fun,with a damsel in distress scene,for the beautiful Chieko Misaka.

The film opens with a Samurai warrior,fighting off a bunch of zombies,before he's bumped off by the main bad guy.We then see him eye our hero,before we actually know he's our hero!

Anyway,we then see two blokes running through a forest,aka 'The Forest of Ressurection',before they meet up with a group of yakuza mobsters.

They are actually in the bad guy's employ,and have been told to keep the two escapees there,before he too arrives.As an added insurance,they also have a young woman they've kidnapped,just to make sure the two men do stay.

It's here the fun begins.Our hero refuses to co-operate,and promptly escapes with the girl.The yakuza of course,pursue them,and not only do they have to search for them,but there are plenty of zombies to deal with too.

Anyway,to the damsel scene.Basically,the bad guy bumps off all the yakuza,(with one exception)to turn them into zombies for his own will,and he orders them to seize the girl.

This is done pretty much easily,as we see our hero out for the count,(he's actually dead!)but her blood of course,can revive him.It can also give the bad guy what he wants too,and after we see our pretty damsel tied up to a tree(somewhat unusually)he forces a sample of blood from her,and prepares to dominate the world,the universe,blah,blah,blah.

Sorry,I lost it there for a moment.:)We couldn't have that ending,could we?:)

Our hero does return back from the dead,and we see a pretty good fight scene,and I'll leave it there.

Definitely,a huge favourite film of mine.
