Necessary to watch Samurai Trilogy in order?
I just received Hiroshi Inagaki's Samurai III: Duel at Ganryu Island from Zip.ca (a netflix-esque service). Thing is, I haven't seen the first two parts. I'm wondering if I could watch it and understand what's happening, or if it's such a close continuation of the first two movies that I wouldn't be able to follow it. I'm on a 2 DVD per month plan, so if I send it back unwatched, it would be kind of a waste.

It is best that you watch it in order because Mifune's character, Musashi Miyamoto, has at this final film, evolved in somewhat of a philospher from a wandering swordsman. In the previous films, Miyamato meets quite a lot of characters that pretty much concludes in this film.
