Richard Norton (Octagon) and Toshishiro Obata (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles) face off in a samurai sword duel, no doubles.

Obata-san asked if we wanted Hollywood fight or genuine samurai fight? I elected for the latter.

We used a combination of blades, wooden ones covered in silver foil for clashes, iron blades for the final stabbing and of course... real blades for hero shots and the slicing of two thick bamboo trunks, a world first according to Obata-san.
