does this movie come in english dubs???

[WarrenChu000]

No, not in the DVD. There were English subtitles when it was broadcast in the U.S. in 1984.

To follow the story, you can read the book by Eiji Yoshikawa. The video series follows the novel very closely.

Wait a minute.. is that Oko in on the side? Or is that Baiken's wife? In the book his wife has a baby but musashi doesn't fight baiken and kills him till baiken is with Oko.

[WarrenChu000]

That is Baiken's wife and this is the first of two duels Musashi has with Baiken. Later, Musashi meets Baiken again and kills him in Oko's presence.

In the book, Musashi fights Baiken only once. In that version, Baiken tries to kill Musashi while he is asleep in this part of the story. Musashi senses something is not right when he notices the baby's toy pinwheel is turning and makes a getaway into the night.

[argus91]

Baïken weapon is called " Kusari-Kama". It's very difficult to use, but properly and experly manipulated by a skillful and very well trained fighter, it's a VERY LETHAL WEAPON, very, very lethal.
