Kataoka Chiezo stars as Murasaki Zukin, a mysterious hero of the people who helps those in need. Now under the rule of the evil Tanuma, the people look to Murasaki Zukin more than ever, to confront and punish those who bring misfortune upon the commoners. Will he be able to bring peace to the land? One of the greatest actors from Toei Studios, known mainly for his swashbuckling roles as powerful swordsmen such as Ryunosuke in SOULS IN THE MOONLIGHT, he appeared in 325 films both before and after the war, beginning with CHUSHINGURA in 1928, and including KUNISADA CHUJI in 1933, and DOKUGANRYO MASAMUNE. While best known for his swordplay, Chiezo really did not enjoy the action, but was able to use his menacing presence to stare down his adversaries. Although Kataoka Chiezo passed away in 1983 at the age of 79, he still has many fans today. This film shows him at his best.

Thanks for the memories!

Matialth

Good concept, poorly executed.

TrueHello

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

Ginger

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

A terrific action tale starring the exceptionally talented actor Kataoka Chiezo as Murasaki Zukin. He is the mysterious hooded man, a hero of the people, and a master of disguise, also highly skilled with sword & ninja throwing knives. The Purple Hooded Man intuitively appears out of nowhere, always just in time to help those in need. The setting is the late 1700s, now under the rule of the evil Lord Tanuma who brings misery & misfortune upon the common folk. On a righteous path and with his menacing presence the Hooded Man fearlessly confronts and stares down all adversaries... Murasaki Zukin is a wonderfully entertaining Japanese Classic, highlighted with fabulous action, outstanding performances, and also featuring some captivating song and dance. Highly Recommended
