So, you liked Kill Bill?

The final confrontation from Tattooed Life, by Seijun Suzuki, an (acknowledged) inspiration for Kill Bill Volume 1's end fight scene.

Stopped it at 0:40 and upvoted. I know it's against the rules to upvote a sift you haven't seen, but I don't want to spoil it - gotta see the entire film instead. And hey - *promote.

If you liked Suzuki's visuals and cinematography, I can only recommend Tokyo Drifter, a Yakuza movie that was a kind of pioneer in perverting the codes of the genre.

If you like 60s Japanese period flicks with a Sergio-Leonesque take on the Samurais genre, Suzuki also made a couple, but in that case do also have a look at Kenji Misumi's work, better known as the director of the original Zatoichi The Blind Swordsman, and of course as the main director of Lone Wolf And Cub, a.k.a Baby Kart. The two first movies were kind-of-butchered, re-cut and re-dubbed as "Shogun Assassin" in the USA; but the real thing is six movies long, and all of them are worth it in my opinion.

That was one of the most amazing pieces of film I've ever seen.
