About Wicked Priest 5: Breaking The Commandments
As the Killer Priest Shinkai travels around Japan during the Meiji era, he comes to the aid of a village headman fighting corruption from up above. Before he can do anything for the townspeople, he must first face his nemesis, Whipmaster, the blind Priest, a master killer thirsting for revenge.
Directed by Buichi Saitō, Wicked Priest 5: Breaking The Commandments leans on a strong ensemble — Tomisaburō Wakayama, Bunta Sugawara, Takashi Shimura — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about action titles of 1971.
