Azumi (English Subtitles) Deluxe Limited Edition

Directed by Ryuhei Kitamura of "Versus" fame, this action-packed movie is based on a highly popular manga serial by Yu Koyama. Like his stylish and gory previous film, it wastes no time in getting down to business. The movie gets rolling as soon as the band of ten Samurai in training, including Azumi (Aya Ueto), the only swordswoman among them, is subjected to its final test. Once again, Kitamura demonstrates his awesome skills into camera movements and fight choreography. The unlimited supply of stylistic action scenes and wild visual feast are enhanced by his leaping and pouncing camera, wirework and CGI specal fx. At one time, the kick-ass heroine (in a cool, skin-tight "period" clothing) takes on as many as 200 foes. This limited edition double-DVD set comes housed in a special collectible box. The discs are housed in digipak(s). Disc 1 contains the main feature with optional subtitles in English and Japanese. Disc 2 contains "Battle on the Wild Side" (70 mins approx), "Making of Azumi - Moment" (40 mins approx), produciton material, & more (total running time: 3 hours approx).
