About Fangs of Darkness 2: Ieyasu's Head
Ichibei teams up with Chief Jindayo of the Goomune (Japan’s gypsies’) in order to steal the shogunate’s solid gold statue of Ieyasu which might bankrupt the central government and complete his revenge against the Tokugawa by toppling them from the seat of power. Meanwhile a mysterious swordsman has entered the area while trying to keep his true identity secret. Will his bloody blade help or hinder Ichibei’s quest for retribution? Will their actions change the course of Japanese history?
Directed by Yoshiyuki Kuroda, Fangs of Darkness 2: Ieyasu's Head leans on a strong ensemble — Tomisaburō Wakayama, Tetsurō Sagawa, Minoru Ōki — 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 screen titles of 1983.
