G.I. Samurai Blu-ray Limited Edition unleashes a wild time-slip action spectacle starring Sonny Chiba. When a modern Japanese military unit is mysteriously transported four centuries into the past, guns, tanks and helicopters collide with katana-wielding samurai in one of the most audacious genre mashups of the 1970s.
 
Chiba stars as Second Lieutenant Iba, leading his bewildered troops through war-torn feudal Japan. Stranded in a brutal era of rival clans and shifting loyalties, discipline begins to fracture as the soldiers confront a world governed by honour, steel and bloodshed. Directed by Kosei Saito and based on the novel by Ryo Hanmura, G.I. Samurai blends explosive action with speculative fantasy, culminating in large-scale battle sequences that remain impressively staged decades later.
 
Restored in 4K by Kadokawa Pictures and presented here in High Definition, this cult favourite stands as one of the most entertaining time-travel epics in Japanese cinema.
 
directed by: Kosei Saito
