Mission: Iron Castle
The Shinobi-no-Mono series was so successful that Daiei Studios dipped into the well one more time, making the best 60′s B&W ninja movie ever seen in the otherwise color-dominated year of 1970. Issei Mori directs Hiroki Matsukata as the reluctant leader of a small band of spies charged with kidnapping a noblewoman from a heavily ninja-proofed castle. The finality of the air slowly began to fill like smoke, and in all that had become dark the loyalty of the Ninja who dared to go shone like light as they entered a world shrouded in mystery. Things do not go as planned in what is possibly the darkest and most fatalistic of the already noir-ish 60′s fare. Both the decade and it’s distinctive style of shinobi cinema went out on a high note with Mission Iron Castle.

Reviews
Lack of good storyline.
Am i the only one who thinks........Average?
The movie runs out of plot and jokes well before the end of a two-hour running time, long for a light comedy.
This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.
One of the last great Daiei productions before the studio went bankrupt in 1971, Shinobi no shu sits among the very best of the 60's B&W shinobi-eiga. . Issei Mori (Kazuo Mori) directs with assured expertise this exciting action packed tale, an incredibly stylish multi faceted historical drama, weaving throughout supernatural and fantastical elements. The leader of a small band of spies is sent on a mission to uncover the mystery of 20 missing clan members, and further, to kidnap a beautiful noblewoman from deep within a heavily ninja-proofed castle. The mission is beset with challenging obstacles, it is dark, fatalistic shinobi cinema, Highly Entertaining Highly Recommended !!
