Bandits vs. Samurai Squadron (雲霧仁左衛門, Kumokiri Nizaemon) is a 1978 Japanese film directed by Hideo Gosha. [1] Based on the novel Kumokiri Nizaemon written by Shōtarō Ikenami. [2]
Jason Buchanan at AllMovie says that director Hideo Gosha makes a "triumphant return to the samurai genre with this plot twisting, nerve shredding tale", [3] but critic Alexander Jacoby calls it "a bland chanbara". [4]
