Let me start off by stating that this movie dialogue speaks in both Chinese and Japanese.You only hear this when they are fighting one another.English when dialog takes place among when they are talking among their own people.I thought that was hot personally but some might just opt for subtitles. The sounds and fight sequence are truly top notch and you really benefit from hearing this on Blu Ray (DTS soundtrack) The story should have match the tracks of this movie as well, as you have some quirky dialogue from the little boy that really slows the movie down.Once you get past this, the story once fully revealed is not bad. If you've ever watched Ninja Scroll( Laser Disc) than you will enjoy this
