Luke: This movie is the story of a man who has the courage to stand up against the evil band of Japanese bandits The Black Wind.
Reporter: Is it true that the Black Wind is a real group of warriors from Japanese
Luke: Yes it is, in ancient times they robbed and pillaged the Japanese peasants.
Reporter: would you say that the movie accurately portrays the group?
