    Samurai Flicks

    The Seven Samurai discussion reminded me:

    Anyone see Taboo?

    As far as "gay" films go, pretty **** good! At first, I was like, "What the hell is up with this?" But it's a good movie. Just be careful of who walks in on ya. Make sure they stay for the wole thing. Last thing you want is to be caught on the edge of your seat with popcorn watching two guys go at it ... without swords! Or with, but not the sharp type.

    I don't think that I'd be holding myself out to be any authority on this particular genre.

    Everyone knows Samurai used to pound one another, just like the Romans. It's that whole "love among warriors" thing.

    I'm glad Chinese Kung Fu masters chose to pass on this custom.

    Favourite Samurai movie...

    Seeing there was a favourite Kung Fu movie thread , thought I would start a Samurai thread.However, at the moment I'm in turmoil as I can't think of my favourite!
    I can think of my favourite Samurai movie with tap dancing in, but that's about it. I really have problems making decisions!
    It may be too obvious to say Seven Samurai, which is probably the truth, so I may say the entire Lone Wolf and Cub series instead!

    Yeah, Takeshi was a big fan of tap himself before his accident.

    Zatoichi by Beat Takeshi. Nice CG work on the bloody scenes. Regards!

    I'd have to agree with MK

    Seven Samurai is one of my favorite films of all time. And Kurosawa is one of my favorite directors. All the Kurosawa/Mifune colloborations are outstanding. On the flip side, I hated Takeshi's Zatoichi. We discussed that here some time ago.

    I would have to go with zatoichi or lone wolf and cub. My fav zatoichi that I have seen is chest of gold and only seen the first 4 LW and C's, but have to say the first one is the best.

    Have you seen any Lady Snowblood films ? Seen Blizzard from the Netherworld, it's excellent. Good to see a woman wielding a sword and causing some major blood spurts! It's based on a manga by Kazuo Koike, who also wrote the manga Lone Wolf and Cub. I have some of those , they are excellent!

    Seven Samurai has recently been re-issued:

    Nope, trying to finish up LW and C, I have two left. Just finished the 4th and LOVED it. Ogami may not be invincible
