Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): Masazuka faces Casey during their first fight with his bokken in his right hand. This is not correct form when facing an opponent as it precludes rapid drawing of the weapon and striking. The students (including Masazuka) sit correctly at the start of this sequence with the weapon on their right hand side to signal that they do not have hostile intent, whereas Masazuka keeps his weapon in his right hand after rising. This is evident when he must rapidly shift hands before the fight begins.
A westerner named Casey, studying Ninjutsu in Japan, is asked by the Sensei to return to New York to protect the legendary Yoroi Bitsu, an armored chest that contains the weapons of the last Koga Ninja.

Sinopsis: La Pasión de Cristo recrea las últimas doce horas en la vida de Jesús de Nazaret (James Cazaviel)desde el momento en el que acude al Huerto de los Olivos (Getsemaní) a orar tras la Última Cena, enfrentándose a las tentaciones de Satanás. Allí sufre la traición de Judas Iscariote (Luca Lionello), siendo arrestado y conducido a Jerusalén para ser juzgado por blasfemia, según denuncian los fariseos.
Jesús es presentado ante Pilatos (Histro Naumov), el Gobernador Romano en la provincia, quien escucha las acusaciones levantadas contra él y se da cuenta de que se trata de un conflicto político, delegando el asunto en el Rey Herodes que no tarda en devolverlo a las autoridades romanas para ser juzgado.
De nuevo ante Pilatos, éste ofrece al pueblo la oportunidad de elegir a quien liberar: a Jesús o al asesino Barrabás. La multitud elige a Barrabás y condena a Jesús, que es puesto en manos de los soldados romanos y flagelado como castigo.
Aunque Pilatos trata de hacer ver a la multitud que el castigo ya ha sido suficiente, los fariseos no lo consideran así. Lavándose las manos, ordena a sus hombres cumplir los deseos del pueblo y Jesús es condenado a muerte.
Jesús deberá cruzar las calles de Jerusalén cargando con la cruz camino del Gólgota, lugar en el que será crucificado. Allí, clavado a la cruz, superará la última tentación: el temor a ser abandonado por su Padre. Sobreponiéndose a su miedo, mira a María (Maia Morgenstern), su madre, y pronuncia palabras que sólo ella puede entender: “Todo está acabado”; finalmente expira diciendo: “En tus manos entrego mi espíritu”. Las fuerzas de la naturaleza se rebelan en el momento de la muerte de Cristo.
Plot: Stefania and Tommaso are to marry and want their wedding to be special. They travel to Stefania's childhood church and there meet a priest who rises to the challenge. In the ceremony the couple are confronted with not only the beauty of their love but also the darker challenges of marriage; the loss of togetherness, the temptations, the interference of others. Yet, through it all they and their guests learn that love is something that we all must do alone.
