Karate Warriors is in a way a rip-off of Yojimbo. Chiba stars as a
karate fighter in the middle of two warring clans getting rich
working for both sides (sound familiar). Although the movie isn't
half bad, this is a poor attempt at remaking a classic. Even though the
story is played out, the fighting is great. With a slow down speed up
type of effect, it makes Chiba's kicks and punches look extremely
powerful. Although this movie isn't that great, if your a hardcore
martial art fan you'll most definitely enjoy the fight scenes. Chiba
even busts out a samurai sword in the later parts of the flick. A
good action movie, but as far as the story goes, not very good.

two rival gangs against each other and reaps the rewards of their
follies.
