History Film / HanzoTheRazor

* AntiHero: Hanzo is a type III, being willing to gain access to information with rather nasty methods.

* GrayAndGrayMorality: Is Hanzo just as bad as the murderers and thieves he puts away? [[ValuesDissonance Modern opinions on rape probably makes this an easier question to answer]].

Hanzo Itami is a good cop in Edo Japan, foiling nefarious plots by corrupt officials. His greatest weapon in getting information is his [[BiggusDickus other blade]].

''Hanzo the Razor'' is a trilogy of films based on Kazuo Koike's {{manga}} ''Goyokibe''. Like most of Koike's works, it is dynamically violent and exploitative, but very enjoyable.

* GagPenis: Hanzo has a morning regimen for his penis that involves pouring hot water on it, then placing it against a block of wood and beating it with a switch. This is presumably to toughen it and improve his hang time during his MoreThanMindControl rapes. The impression on the block is ''huge''.

* TheRival: Magobei Onishi, who Hanzo hates ("Snake Magobei!") for being a jackass who takes bribes and has affairs with women.

* {{Gorn}}: Like most Kazuo Koike works, there's ''a lot'' of blood.

* RecycledINSPACE: It's ''Film/{{Shaft}}'' IN EDO JAPAN, with a CowboyCop as a hero and clearly lifting several {{Blaxploitation}} tropes. Heck, even the music score by Isao Tomita is straight out of the book of Issac Hayes.

!!Tropes used in this series include:

* AnachronismStew: Many of the magistrates wear glasses, and the aesthetics of the movie overall are very 70s, right down to the soundtracks by famed composer Isao Tomita and PsychedelicRock musician and record producer Kunihiko Murai.

* EndOfAnAge: The second film seems to signal the film trilogy takes place in the very end of the Edo era [[note]] One of the problems seen in the last 50 years of the Edo era was illegal infanticide reducing population growth, which the film's subplot centers on.[[/note]]
