Eureka to release Kinji Fukasaku's Legend of the 8 Samurai

Written by Richard Durrance on 22 Nov 2024



Eureka have announced even further Kinji Fukasaku cinematic goodness to their Master of Cinema range, having given us the recent and excellent Pigs, Wolves and Men, now 17th February 2025, we will be treated to a 4K restoration of his 1983 Legend of the 8 Samurai.

Synopsis: (shameless stolen from Eureka as usual)

The Satomi Clan have been all-but wiped out by their mortal enemies: the ghoulish members of the undead Hikita Clan. The last Satomi survivor is Princess Shizu (Yakushimaru), who goes into hiding to avoid meeting the same fate as her family. Left to wander on her own, she eventually becomes entangled with farmer-turned-soldier Shinbei (Sanada) and then a pair of warrior monks who reveal themselves to be two of eight fabled Hakkenden – or “Dog Warriors” – who can lift the curse that has been placed upon her family. Together, they must find the rest of the Hakkenden and take on the leader of the Hikita Clan: the evil Tamazusa (Mari Natsuki).

As always I'd recommend ordering directly from Eureka to get the best price and almost always early delivery.

Long-time anime dilettante and general lover of cinema. Obsessive re-watcher of 'stuff'. Has issues with dubs. Will go off on tangents about other things that no one else cares about but is sadly passionate about. (Also, parentheses come as standard.) Looks curiously like Jo Shishido, hamster cheeks and all.
