Ninja Scroll $16.89 (was $25) A cult-classic film that's is still incredibly entertaining decades after its original release in 1993, Ninja Scroll keeps its story simple and goes all out on its supernatural brawls. In a nutshell, the movie follows sword-for-hire Jubei as he takes on a gang of powerful ninjas--and a ghost from his past--who are determined to overthrow the Japanese government.Each scene is an excuse to show off exquisitely animated action, and with a digestible runtime of around 90 minutes, it's a fun and ridiculously violent film to watch. The film also comes with a full-length audio commentary with director Yoshiaki Kawajiri and character designer Yukata Minowa.
