Product Description
Product Description
THE BEAST AND THE MAGIC SWORD is the last great film from Spanish horror legend Paul Naschy. Although he would go on making and planning films until his death in 2009, he never again attempted the epic sweep and grandeur of this 10th entry into the saga of Waldemar Daninsky, a man afflicted by the curse of lycanthropy. In this film, we get for the first time an origin story of how the Daninsky curse began back in the 10th century. We then move forward to 16th century Japan where Daninsky has traveled in search of a cure to his affliction. Co-starring Japanese stage and screen veteran Shigeru Amachi, and shot in the studios of Toshiro Mifune, THE BEAST AND THE MAGIC SWORD is a highly successful and colorful melding of European werewolf legends and dark Japanese fantasy. It features a fight between werewolf and tiger, an evil scarlet-cloaked witch who imprisons Daninsky, a sword fight with a troupe of ghost samurai, and many other unforgettable scenes. This is the first Blu-ray release of this film and it's first-ever US release and includes both a full-frame version and a widescreen version.
Review
This Naschy film has everything and then some. There's witches, black magic, monsters, swordfights, topless female ninja assassins, magical weapons and some stunning sets and cinematography. --Cool Ass Cinema - Brian Bankston
It's one of the most impressive and entertaining Naschy flicks I've ever clapped my eyeballs on. --mmmmmovies.blogspot.com
Well produced in authentic castle and Japanese settings (the film) looks like a million pesetas. --Brian Senn - The Werewolf Filmography

I never thought in my tape trading days that things like this would come about.
Such a unique movie combining Spanish Horror with Japanese themes. One of a kind. Just like Paul Naschy was.
When reaching out to their customer support asking if they have a correction the response I received was a monosyllabic "nope." So then what happened to the artwork they're using for their product pages?

Ganz wie in dem Titelbild werdet Ihr ab und zu nackte Brüste sehen können, was wohl von der stumpfsinnigen Handlung ablenken soll. Die ganzen Bonusinhalte der Blue Ray haben mich nicht interessiert (Kommentare), der Film ist komplett auf Spanisch mit englischen Untertiteln und das einzig Gute an diesem Film war die Tigerkampfszene, welche man allerdings auch nicht zu ernst nehmen sollte. Diese war mehr niedlich, besonders als der Tiger friedlich in die Kamera blinzelte beim "Sterben".
Ganze 2 Stunden dauert der Film und handelt davon, wie ein schwerfälliger Wolfsmensch Unschuldige abschlachtet. Leider sieht auch das nicht sehr beeindruckend aus, besonders da sich die meisten Kampfbewegungen wiederholen und identisch wirken. Übermenschlich stark wirkt die Kreatur dabei auch nicht, nur Unverwundbarkeit zeichnen seine Überlegenheit aus. Springen, schlagen und werfen wirken wirklich sehr menschlich und ich rede nicht von sportlichen Menschen. Am schlimmsten war aber wohl doch die Liebesszene, die einfach so entstand. Keine Tiefe, keine Romantik, einfach plötzlich verliebt, wirklich nicht sehr glaubwürdig. Schade, hatte gehofft dass die Samurais den Film zumindest retten können, allerdings wirkten die Schwertkämpfe so, als würden die Gegner darauf warten getötet zu werden. Keine große Gegenwehr, wollten wohl auch schnellstmöglich den Film hinter sich bringen.
Wer Samurais und Werwölfe sehen, Geld sparen und etwas Besseres geboten bekommen mag, der sollte sich lieber "Werewolf Warrior" zulegen. Da findet man sogar Kappas!
