Although there's a good action scene at the start, it gets boring really quickly as Musashi goes through duel after duel. There's a memorable scene where Sasaki questions a woman about Musashi and she amusingly calls him "Mr. Weak" because he can't hold his liquor.
Daisuke Kato, who regularly starred in Mifune's movies, is in this. I would watch him in anything. He's an incredible character actor.
Musashi does pine for Otsu still, but he's not as sympathetic as when he was Takezo. But there's no helping that situation. Takezo is gone forever. There's only Musashi left.
