Summary: Samurai spoof
Review: Despite the fact that most people tend to think this movie is really terrible, I am forced to disagree. This movie is a giant spoof. Every character in the movie is a legitimate, historical (though hardly accurate) individual. If you research them, you can find accounts of most of their lives with minimal difficulty. The actual scenes are outright parodies of dramatic scenes from other samurai and Japanese horror movies; most notable is the final battle between Musashi and Jubei (the protagonist) on the beach. Don't take this movie seriously and you'll enjoy it.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Do not be misled
Review: Do not be misled from the other reviews , the Jubei from this movie has nothing to do with jubei kibagami from ninja scroll.
"reborn from hell" focuses on Jubei Yagyu. they are completly different characters. Also, there is an anime based on the "Reborn from Hell" series, which I advise to all to not waste your time. The animation is horrible and the voice acting is not much better.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Sheesh! Where did samurai movies go wrong??
Review: I don't think "Samurai Armageddon" is that bad, there was some pretty good samurai swordplay throughout the movie although I would've preferred more. Still, the story behind this movie was just terrible, and way too perverted to be a samurai movie. Damn did you see that thing that lady had on her crotch, and what she did with it was just nasty!! Total turnoff. If your looking for an average samurai flick with twisted scenes in between. This might be the one your looking for.

Summary: This is the follow up to the Ninja resurrection!
Review: I think that this movie is like an anime movie: blood, sex and inexplicable things, the sword play are pretty good although I didn't like special effects, the performance of Jubei is excellent and I could say that it is the best along the movie.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Some of the best Samurai Action this Side of Lone Wolf & Cub
Review: I wholeheartedly DIS-agree on Samurai Armageddon...I dug the movie; the acting is hokey as can be, but you gotta remember, EVERY Kung Fu/Ninja/Samurai movie that contains ANY "mystical" elements is gonna be hokey: Ninja Wars, Kung Fu Zombies, Super Ninjas, Spiritual Kung Fu, Nine Demons (The Venoms-Shaw Brothers), practically anything with Sho Kasugi as the main star....I have every movie listed (except the Sho Kasugi stuff) and love them all... They're all hokey, but have some awesome martial action... In fact, Jubei performs some of the best kendo moves this side of Itto Oogami (Lone Wolf)... Plus, the fact that it's part of the Jubei Yagyu (also in Samurai Shodown) saga is most cool... The plot for Samurai Armageddon is the same plot used for Ninja Resurrection Vol.2 [anime] (the Jubei Yagyu from Ninja Scroll [anime] in another dimension) . . .

Summary: samurai armagedon
Review: If you want to see the most un-professional movie. This is the one. A whole production seems complete 3 days and all actors are just came out of campus. Special effects? Not really. rather called "Kidergarten Trick Show" Still, this worth to watch because thie shows you the limit of worst film making.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: funny stuff
Review: it's a hilarious movie. you have to have the right mindset when you watch this movie. it's a cross between a ninja movie and an unconventional porno.

Summary: samurai movie almost from hell
Review: This is a rather enjoyable flic, as long as you can keep an open mind. Those who enjoy B-type action and anime will be able to appreciate this one the most. The storyline is entertaining but a little hard to follow at times. However, the comical ultra-action fight scenes do a good job making up for the lacking story.

The characters and storyline seem to be straight out of an anime, and while the acting isn't great, it didn't strike me as overly cheesy either.

The shortest synopsis is porbably: Ninja Scroll (or Ninja Ressurection) made live-action.

Definitely not one for kids!
