Crazy Samurai Musashi | Blu-ray (Well Go USA)
Today’s Deal on Fire is the Blu-ray for Crazy Samurai Musashi. This samurai film, described as “The world’s first 77-minute, one-take action film sequence”, re-teams Japanese action star Tak Sakaguchi (Versus) with Re:Born director Yuji Shimomura (Death Trance).
When a master samurai arrives to duel the disgraced Yoshioka dojo, he walks into an ambush. In the world’s first 77-minute, one-take action film sequence, Miyamoto Musashi (Tak Sakaguchi) fights for his life against 400 warriors, earning a place in history as the Crazy Samurai Musashi.
Sakaguchi rose to fame with the 2001 cult favorite Versus, a movie that managed to combine the low-budget charms of Evil Dead-like horror with blistering martial arts and gunplay. The actor later scored another cult hit with Battlefield Baseball, but has most recently hitched his wagon to the Sushi Typhoon production company.

How about less seventy seven-minute single takes and more ‘movie’
How About you try a seventy seven minute sigle take and you come complain after
nobody’s saying it was easy, it just doesn’t work. too wide a field of view for that shabby background coreography, too long a shot for the monotonous fight flow, is just boring.
How about about I complain now and you keep silent?
Okay okay , I keep silent silent !
One silent is good enough!
Will it truly be a one take scene, or will it be like 1917 or Extraction where it’s well disguised?
Hey Andrew, it’s a genuine one-take, and as expected there are plenty of mistakes to be found in it if you look closely enough. Still, a hugely admirable effort!
I’m assuming the opening clip isn’t representative of the whole film, with all the cuts to different angles otherwise what’s the point of one take if your going to switch between camera angles so often? why not just make a better quality action scene and film if its not going to look like one take anyway?
Better than expected (better than the overrated 1917 or Birdman), real one take, not too much choreography helps it looking more real, little “mistakes” like when the cameraman has difficulty to walk across the muddy field/grass… Perfect? No. Good? Yes. If I can get the Blu-Ray, I’ll get it.
