Movie: Ten to Chi to (1990)
“Warlords Kagetora and Takeda each wish to prevent the other from gaining hegemony in feudal Japan. The two samurai leaders pursue one another across the countryside, engaging in massive battles of cavalry and infantry. Younger and less brutal, Kagetora must find the strength to be as brutal as his opponent, but at what cost? Written by Jim Beaver {jumblejim@prodigy.net}”

Trivia: Only one injury occured during the course of filming all the battle scenes. A Japanese wrangler lost a thumb during the night shift, when his hand got caught in some rope attached to a horse. First aid was applied and the thumb was saved.
Goofs: Factual errors: The Ashigaru (foot-soldiers) all wore Mempo (face masks). Mempo were only worn by samurai (and not even then by ALL samurai), who were all mounted. The reason for this is because pretty much all of the Ashigaru were played by Canadians, and the Mempo hid this fact.
