Summary

Released in 1989, Zatoichi is an action and drama film.

Only 12 of its IMDb reviewers are calibrated, so the calibrated figure rests on a thin sample; a broader pool of 13 reviewers with at least two reviews feeds the raw-average track. Rotten Tomatoes carries a separate audience for the same title, 1,772 of whom clear the calibration test. Its in-cohort standing is measured against the other 3,140 1980s films, not against the whole corpus.
