Disc One (Band of Assassins / Revenge)

  • Shozo Ichiyama (HD; 14:05) is a really interesting piece which features the Program Director of the Tokyo International Film Festival discussing the life and work of director Satsuo Yamamoto, including an emphasis on the Shinobi series. Ichiyami mentions Yamamoto's relatively few period films, but his overall interest in highlighting travails of the so-called "common man". There's some interesting sidebar information about what was going on at various Japanese film studios during the general timeframe of the production of these films. Subtitled in English.

Disc Two (Resurrection)

  • A Brief History of Japanese Ninja Films (HD; 18:11) by Mance Thompson which helps to explain the context of these films within the history of the Japanese movie industry in general.
  • Toshiaki Sato (HD; 14:18) discusses the life and career of Raizo Ichikawa, which is yet another fascinating "tragic life of a movie star" story. Subtitled in English.
