In ancient Japan, a good lord is killed and his throne is taken by the
trecherous Yuki Daijo and his wizard friend Oroki-maru. The young prince
Ikazuki-maru is rescued from the jaws of death by a magic bird sent by a
wizard. Ten years later, Ikazuki-maru embarks on an adventure to avenge
his parents and the wizard's death with his magic powers he learned
from the wizard. He kills Yuki Daijo but then must battle Oroki-maru in a
battle to the death.
You pretty much
can see that this film had an influence on the "Star Wars" saga especially
when you look at the film early on as young Jiraiya (or Izakuchi-Maru)
learns from his teacher, who obviously was an inspiration for Obi Won.

Not usually a fan of period pieces, but this is one of the few kaiju films I haven't seen, so happy to give it a go. Thanks NLZ.
