Thanks Sara, I don't know if I'll be able to find "the Blind Swordsman and the Chess Expert" but everything I've read on it has been positive, it's certainly one that's highly rated among the Zatoichi fans. I'm sure there's a greater selection in the US than here but I'll keep searching for any more. I have far more respect for the films now that I've had a chance to see a few of them and even more respect for Takeshi Kitano for taking on the update.

Cheers Trev.
