Okay Final Entry in the Series

Another reviewer called this last entry in the Crimson Bat series dull. I didn't find the film dull, but it is somewhat typical. It is enjoyable enough for fans, but others might be underwhelmed.

In this entry, Oichi rescues a young couple from a lecherous lord and gets a bounty put on her head. Three bounty hunters are trying to collect the 100 ryo reward: one who fights with a sword, a second who fights with a sickle on a chain, and the third who is a master of martial arts and only uses his body as a weapon.

Oichi's travels take her to a seaside village where the fishermen are being run out by the ambitious local boss who has a dream of building a big port. Since one of the three bounty hunters is from the city, a viewer can guess that he will switch sides.

The Crimson Bat, Wanted Dead or Alive is a decent samurai actioner, but it also does not stand out from the many other samurai films made in that period. I would place it third in the series.
