Different styles, mostly. The fact that there is more violence doesn't mean that it's not a good movie. Kurosawa directed epics, which is a different kind of film.
I threw it out out there because it serves as a counter example, really.
(It came out in 1966, too, not the fifties. Oops.)

I heard a reference to "Sword of Doom" in the "Design stage" area on the "Blade"-DVD. The stunt coordinator used "SoD" as inspiration for the "Blade"-swordfighting.
It really seems to be a popular movie, I just thought it was a low-budget movie when you described it, like "Bruce Li fights again!!" or "Ninja Mission IV".
It DID have Mifune-San in it, I certainly must see this one!
