I watched the three Daimajin films! They're pretty much the same concept done in slightly different ways each time. Evil feudal lord does bad stuff in a samurai film until eventually Daimajin gets really mad and tears a path of absolutely spectacular destruction to take vengeance on them. Still, there aren't any OTHER films that can claim to be quite like that, and I found myself quite taken with Daimajin's unbridled divine fury. I mean, c'mon, he pulls the metal spike the warlord's minions drove into his head out and uses it to impale the villain through his chest, affixing him to a crucifix shaped bit of shattered timber left from him rampage. That's AWESOME. I think the first film was the best, with lots of stark, moody lighting, but I also kinda liked the shlocky elements of the third film with the awkward child actors and the way it flip-flopped between slapstick and tragedy. Good fun!
