Page 1 of Azumi. Is it worth getting?

TItle says it all really. :)

I love this film.....its one of my favorites.

I have watched it about half a dozen times since i bought it.....it has great action, a great soundtrack and a superb picture.

The main character who plays Azumi is really a Jpop singer and not too convincing as a master swordswoman, but the directors fast camera work makes her look the part.

cheers skirpydoink. Where did you get yours from if you don`t mind me asking? I have looked on ebay but it seems to be awash with what look like fakes :/ (surprise surprise). aznfilms.com have it but it`s 56 $ for the standard or 65 $ for the 2 disker? I`m not keen on buying it for that much. Are the versions hkdvdstore are selling originals? I`ve never used them before...

Also the ones on ebay are stating uncut at 145mins, azn 142 mins...?..?...

cheers :)

**edit** skirpydoink, just saw your (drunken?) review in the archives... should`ve done a search first

AmoTokyo have it for $45 which is where i bought it.

Don`t take any notice of their review scores as they are always very low.

The deluxe version is now discontinued so if there are any copys floating about, you will need to be quick.

Here are some snaps of the Deluxe version i bought.......

WOW!

Thanks for the link and the images, that`s some pack! :D

Is there going to be a UK release, France seems to be getting it in September
