it sets in olden days kind of samurai look, men especially the one who fight with sword has hair tied in high ponytail and long hair, the girl is transported in i think a small carriage which held by four men, it was in color but looks like they just started coloring process or it was old to the point of me mixing it up, i watched it on TV in 91, i was in France at the time, but i’m sure its made 70s or 80s,
the movie starts with 2 simple men who are getting laughed at from the village they live in, the leader of the village is sending his daughter to marry a powerful man and i think he chooses the two simple men or get recommended to him for a prank, to escort her, the girl is not happy with her marriage arrangement and plans on escaping i think, on the way they get attacked by people who don’t want the marriage to happen, we know here that the two simple guys are not that good at fighting but the girl is, i remember this fight was in a field of greens or wheat not sure, then someone comes and help and defeat the bad people, i think the girl was impressed by the new comer and liked him. there is also another fight that happen in a tavern with the same people and guy which he defends the girl but make it look like the two simple guys did it, but I’m not sure which fight happened first, in the end they arrive to their destination with the new guy in tow, in the palace we find that the guy is the actual groom and he went to escort his bride without her knowing who he is because he wanted to meet her, she is happy now because she liked him but then we find the people who wants her dead are in the palace and the fight starts again, i also remember one of the attacker is a girl with long hair and she fights with a guy who enjoy pain so each time she hit him he gets excited and ask for more, its a happy ending, i have been looking for this one for years now. hopefully someone can help.
