Le sabre de Bushido

My girlfriend bought me this for £1....approximately its true value.

Richard Norton sounds like Tony Curtis in "Some Like It Hot" when he puts on his Cary Grant accent, and is as wooden as Arnie.

The yakuza boss is hilariously incomprehensible, as is his situation i.e. where is the rest of his gang? His ?4 bodyguards get taken out quickly leaving him at Norton's mercy. He's a gang boss! Should be loads of them.

PMSL at the bedroom ninja scene after said ninja falls out of the window, stands up shaking his fist defiantly.....WHAM! Hit by a bus.

PMSL again during the car chase when he nicks the kids go-cart.

And as for his girlfriends cruel nipple torture......

All in all, one of those films that are so bad that they're worth seeing once just for the hell of it.

This is a terrible movie. The only decent acting is done by Rochelle Ashana.

Richard Norton may be big in the world of martial arts, however he should have stayed there - an actor he is not!

The timeslot selected for this movie on the local network was apt though - 1.30am - although, even in this time slot, it was a little hard to take!

A poor martial arts film - its only redeeming quality is Richard Norton showing why he is one the world's best martial arts weapons experts. Plot - what plot?

Bad acting , Norton stick to the back ground in Chuck Norris movies in which you were good . Judy Green should of stayed on the yacht with Ably Mangels . Norton was one of Australia's best Karate exponents its a shame this movie does not show how good he could be , using bad dialogue and a plot that is so corny you want to use Norton's Sword to end your life.

With its lush locations around Phuket, Thailand, and a stellar starring turn by Richard Norton, "Sword of Bushido" is don't-miss action for adventure movie fans. As a U.S. military man with a family history of service, he's on a mission to recover and return a legendary sword to the people of Japan. He's got to keep both the prize and himself, along with his compatriots, out of danger and safe from the greedy adversaries for the sword. Norton proves again that he can play "good guys" that are compelling to his audiences in addition to the villains he has fine-tuned in movies such as "Mr. Nice Guy" and "Lady Dragon." Norton's diversity in choosing roles and his believability in either the hero or villain "niche" consistently establish him as a great lead in action movies. "Sword of Bushido" is another example of superior entertainment from a terrific actor!
