Synopsis:
Three more spectacular tales of ninja action in this continuation of the hugely influential series. This time, Raizo Ichikawa ( Shinobi 1-3 ) stars as Mist Saizo, a ninja with a grudge who won't rest until he has assassinated the supreme leader, the Tokugawa shogun. Directed by three of the Daiei Studio's top period action specialists, these films feature epic battles, ingenious spycraft and thrilling ninja fights.
In Siege , Raizo Ichikawa is Mist Saizo, the legendary folk hero and Iga ninja. Working in the service of warlord Yukimura Sanada (Tomisaburo Wakayama), he plots to assassinate Shogun Ieyasu Tokugawa, but finds himself facing the might of the nation's supreme ruler.
In Return of Mist Saizo , our black-clad hero continues his mission to avenge his master, even after Ieyasu has abdicated from the throne. Told as one continuous story, these two films weave their ninja action in and out of Japanese martial history, featuring epic battles, ingenious spycraft and thrilling fight scenes.
In The Last Iga Spy , Mist Saizo's son Saisuke takes over his father's name and mission. He is recruited by a rebellious warlord to assist a plot to overthrow the government, but the Shogun hires a rival ninja clan to thwart the uprising. Meanwhile, other forces are also at play. Directed by Kazuo Mori ( Shinobi 3: Resurrection , Zatoichi at Large ), this film pits ninja against ninja, including a breathtaking rooftop battle scene that is one of the highlights of the entire Shinobi series.
