Sword of Doom

So, I just did a count on this, but I have two concerns: One, it has a very large body count (119), and there seems to be a thread stickied saying that new members should not do large count films. Two, it is old (47 years) and Japanese.

I guess I want to know what I should do with the count I made.

I apologize if there is a better place to put this (new).

Keep the count off to side. Do a minimum of 3 under 30 counts and post them and i'll see how you're doing, after that feel free to post any number count that you want.

Look in the general queue for how to set up your counts, you can use my count format as a base if you want and go from there.

Thank you. I'll do that.

This is my first time doing a body count for a movie. I went ahead and counted this before knowing that it's preferred to do a few low count movies first.

The Sword of Doom (1966)
www.imdb.com/title/tt0060277/

Total Body Count: 114

Kills by Ryunosuke: 88

Ryunosuke kills Omatsu's grandfather -- 1
Ryunosuke kills Bunnojo Utsuki in a dual -- 1
Group ambushes Ryunosuke to avenge Bunnojo -- 14
Pair ambushed while boarding boat (Ryunosuke kills one) -- 2
Mistaken ambush in snow -- 23
Ryunosuke kills his wife -- 1
Ryunosuke in finale -- 17
Sleeping couple assassinated -- 2
Ryunosuke in finale -- 53

I watched the finale twice since there were so many deaths and it went by quickly. There was a few dismemberments in the finale, but I only counted when a body dropped to the ground.
