A glorious, glorious medley. Samurai! Hell, I would go just for the redone subs of Seven Samurai. But there are movies I have never even heard tell of here! This is the best of the best of old timer Japanese cinema. Jeri Theed Oorman: Rania... why are you a tower? | ||

More recently the story was adapted to one of my current favorite Anime's, Samurai 7 http://www.samurai7.tv/ which retained much of the spirit of the original. Whether or not you are a fan of the Anime gendre I think you will enjoy this remake which I'd rate 4 out of 5 stars. Another crazy flick worth a view, Ichii the killer. http://www.ichi-the-killer.com/ "Computers in the future may weigh no more than 1.5 tons" -- Popular Mechanics, 1949 | ||
