About this product

Product Information

From best-selling author James Clavell (King Rat, Noble House) comes the sweeping award-winning story of love and war, set against the spectacular background of feudal Japan at the beginning of the 17th century. And Shogun has never looked better than it does on DVD in this thrilling presentation. Richard Chamberlain (TVs Dr Kildare, The Thorn Birds) stars as John Blackthrone, an English navigator shipwrecked off the coast of Japan. Rescued, he becomes an eyewitness to a deadly struggle involving Toranaga (Toshiro Mifune, Rashomon), a feuding warlord intent on becoming Shogun - the supreme military dictator. At the same time, Blackthrone is irresistibly drawn into the turmoil and finds himself vying to become the first-ever gai-jin (foreigner) to be made a samurai warrior. The complete nine-hour presentation of this landmark television miniseries is presented in this exclusive five-disc set, with fascinating, brand-new special features that complement this acclaimed epic adventure.

  • It is exactly as it was described, and even more beautiful and meaningful.

    This video set is a historical landmark, a series of cameos on life in Japan. It can be appreciated by all.

  • Discover 1600’s Japan!

    I was inspired to buy this original mini series, by the recent release of the remake on Disney+, & actually loving it! Excellent production values for its time (late ‘70’s), & always liked Richard Chamberlain. It was a massive hit in its time, & for good reason. Very entertaining & also educational, as depicts the world in 1600, & the east & west discovering each other.

  • False advertising

    This item was listed as having sub titles, even the DVD cover states English sub titles, it does NOT have sub titles. I already had a copy like this but wanted the sub title copy. Very poor deal. If it was a more expensive item, you’d have a problem

  • THE SHOGUN

    This was a very good T.V. series & and as a movie it is every bit as good. many movies and series can be a bit of a disapointment when viewed some years later, however THE SHOGUN appears to be ageless.

  • "A great TV series just like I remember it many years ago when I first watched it"

    I recall watching this series many years ago on TV which I thoroughly enjoyed, so I decided to purchase the DVD box set so I could watch it again. I once again found it a great watch and would have no hesitation in recommending it to anyone considering a purchase.
