| Satomi Hakkenden 里見八犬伝 or, Legend of the Eight Samurai, is a 1983 Fukasaku Kinji film in the genres of adventure, fantasy and action, with a token bit of drama and romance as well. The story is actually a Chinese legend. The story is that of Princess Shizu, portrayed by actress Hiroko Yakushimaru, who is the last of her family. An army of zombies wants her family dead for the sake of revenge, their queen Tamazusa portrayed by actress Natsuki Mari. Since there is a ransom on poor Princess Shizu, farmer-turned bounty-hunter Shinbei (portrayed by Sonny Chiba) is also following her around. Then along come eight warriors who protect her because of certain powers she gives each of them. These powers are given by means of magical beads, and the warriors discover their new powers on their own. Each bead was also linked to a certain Confucian virtue. One of this films more memorable sequences involves the famous nude scene of Natuski Mari, who is seen walking into a fountain of blood and drinking it.
