Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThough Gein, the masked henchman of Kanryu, is based off the character of the same name from the manga, he has much more in common with Han'nya from the manga. Gein is heavily scarred and works as Kanryu's messenger, like Han'nya, while his outfit, personality, and wire-work is more inline with Gein from the manga. His mask is a combination of both Gein and Han'nya's masks. Neither of them use guns or a wakizashi in the manga, however.
- GoofsDuring Saito's final conversation with Kenshin on the steps, one can see clearly that the policemen's cigarette has a filter. Cigarettes with filter tips were not invented until the 1950s.
- Quotes
Kenshin Himura: [to Kanryu] you know what money can't buy? What you're begging for right now: your life.

Featured review
Rurouni Kenshin Trilogy is the best anime based live action movie ever! All three of it are the best. I didn't really appreciated the anime series when I was a kid but then I grew up and I saw the first movie. I was like, "Wow, even live action movies based on an anime is possible!" Because of this movie, I'm now interested to watch the anime series.
The story was great, the characters were also great, even the setting. This is the movie that made samurai battles more realistic. As anime fan, I also like this movie from start to finish. The sequels were also great and I might review those in the future.
In conclusion, Rurouni Kenshin is a must watch especially to Samurai X fans and other anime fans out there.
