A young monk on a journey to deliver a sacred sword back to his venerated master is challenged by a samurai. The monk begs the samurai to spare his life, promising the samurai he will return to fight once he has accomplished his mission. Once back at the temple, the monk's elderly master orders him to keep his promise to return to confront the samurai - much to the monk's astonishment. He's desperate. He's facing certain death. What will he do?
I saw this movie years ago on a local PBS station's independent filmmaker's show, and, out of all the movies on that show, this is my favorite.
I was hoping to find the entire movie on Youtube, to watch it again.

i would give this movie a 6/10. i'm not impressed with vocal. foot work/physique could have been a little more emphasized.

Monks from china and places like that do train in martial arts and fight with swords in which the seek enlightenment or what ever

Swords are not sacred at all. They are tools for the destruction of human beings and an outgrowth of hatred. Real monks don't engage in these kinds of activities. Just another of those weird movies.
