If you loved The Three Treasures, try Sword for Hire

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Hiroshi Inagaki, and they sit in Action / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Three Treasures, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Sword for Hire is

You wander a war-torn land as Hayate, a samurai fleeing a burning fortress. Wounded and hidden by O’Ryo, you stir feelings in her before a deadly mistake forces you on the run again. She follows. Meanwhile, your comrade Yaheiji admires her from afar. The era insists every wound is paid with honor, not words.
