Samurai are great!!!!

HORAY FOR YOU! :)

Somebody has seen it too!!!! ISNT IT GREAT?????? Don't you think the actor that plays the samurai is just the best thing ever? He REALLY is a wonderful actor. he just blows me away. I think it's partly him that makes the movies! When he looks at them after they kill his wife his eyes blaze with such hatred that you want to turn off the movie in case he comes and runs the sword though you! Great great actor!

I have not seen the second one yet but I have it ready to watch :) I watched the first part and it's great! Can't wait to watch it!

Wide shot of grassland with sound of wind
Shot of our samurai
Shot of a ninja running though grass
long shot of them both
shot of ninja running
shot of samurai standing and drawing his sword
shot of ninja running
shot of samurai waiting
long shot of them both
shot of ninja face
shot of samuari face with eyes squinting with hatred

SUDDENY!

Ninja attacks!
Samurai sword goes though his staw hat and cuts it in half!
Ninja holds onto the blade with palms flat on the blade
shot of the staring at each other
ninja feet on other ninja shoulders
its another ninja!
Second ninja spinning though the air
samurai grabs handle of baby carriage and it turns into a spear!
impales second ninja
ninja falls
then the blood stars!
gushing fountain of bood!
first nina with a sword stuck in his head tells samurai that he will never win
as ninja gives long speach the blood is still gushing in a great fountain of blood!

HOW good is that????? :D

One of my fav part of the first film ( Blade of Vengence ) is when they get his son to hang over the well. He stands there as the boy drops a sandle into the well... listening... so he knows how deep it is and how much time he has... he says... "Ninja! You will wish you were wiser, now you will see!" With that he leaps foward cutting down 3 ninja and grabbing the rope in time to save his kid! GREAT!

Ashlea :)
Yeah, have not seen the anime you talk of but it sounds great. I have not read Shogun so I might have to check that one out. Thanks :)

If there is one thing that I really like. It's pirates! Love em! I mean, what is NOT to like! So romantic - sailing the seven seas, sword fighting, swinging from ropes, treasure, wenches! ( lets not forget the buxom wenches ;) ), secret islands full of treasures, skulls, more sword fighting, the vast oceans, exotic lands and parrots by the bucket load! YEP, pirates are really really really great.

But you know what? Samurai are really great too! I love em! And right now, as of this moment, I am in a samurai obsession! I was in a pirate obsession!!! Samuari are great arnt they? I mean, what's NOT to like! Moody swords man of great and deadly skill. Ancient and exotic Japan! Sword fighting, drinking sake, chopping off of heads, honour till the very LAST breath, tense sword fighting, blood, running along with shuffling feet and, well, they are just great arnt they?

I'm remembering how much I love them because I got to watch one of my most FAV movies of all time!!!! IT'S GREAT! It's about Samuari, but I am sure you guessed that. OK, Akira Kurosawa's Yojimbo is one of the best things but to film and the Seven Samurai is also up there with it. But for Samurai you just CAN NOT BEAT a movie that stands even head and shoulders above those great movies! .... LONE WOLF! GREAT! OMG it's great! Moody burning eyes of vengence, sword fighting, slashing one cut killing moves, artful direction, sword fighting and more sword fighting and buckets and buckets and buckets of blood - spraying, gushing, spilling, dripping and more, femal assasins, NINJAS attacking, vengence, sake drinking, moody eye shots, more sword fighiting. Well, it's just great!!!!!!!!!

Has anybody seen this movie? I mean, the first one - sword of vengence? There are actually six ( as far as I know ). Anybody seen Lone Wolf and cub? I tell you, that movie ROCKS...

Samurai... great, arn't they? :D

<---runs off into the waving grass framed by a bloody setting sun and going arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrhhhhhhhhhhhh.

Yeah, I think POTC is a great movie! And yes, it has pirates in it! How can you go wrong with that???? BUT Lone Cub is better :p

BTW, really like the new avatar and the sparkly bits! :)
 
If you knew the answer to that question then I would have to flip out and kill you!

Funny page ( even when its about ninja and not samurai but ninjas are really really really cool as well ) :D me liked!
 
Sillywabbit, have you seen the Zatoichi films? Less blood and violence but man that guy is a badass, just basically a wandering gambler who kills people. There's a new one starring Beat Takeshi that has all kinds of cool CGI blood spraying around.

I agree though, the guy who plays Ogiami Itto is an awesome actor, I love the part at the beginning when the woman runs up and wants to nurse the kid, his stone-faced reaction is great.

I love all types of martial arts movies. There's one called 'Azumi' that has a lot of the stuff you seemed to like about Lone Wolf & Cub. It's about a female assassin, it has a lot of cool stylistic stuff. The old Sonny Chiba films are good, there's an oldie called 'Samurai Armageddon' that's supposedly being remade.
 
WOW I just went to that ninja link--awesome! Make sure you read the hate mail the guy gets!
 
Im reading the hate mail right now! This site is the funniest! Whats funnier is the jerks sending the hate mail! LOLOLOLOLOL :D

I know of the Zatoichi films, but I have not seen them I DO intend to get around to them soon though! :D

Never heard of Azumi but will check that out, thanks! :)
 
de gozaimasu lahondas.
this is samurai japanese for my name is lahondas.
i am nuts over samurai, i almost bought a samurai sword on ebay, wasnt real but i wanted it bad. i have a book on japanese language, samurai dialect. i have the dvd the last samurai, i watched it already 6 times. i bought a similar bush to the one in the movie the one the king of the samurai oh so loved, its a pygmy of the original flowered tree and it will only bloom once a year and when that happens illl say, (there perfect) just like inn hte movie. i have japanese relax mood music and candles that go along too. theres just something about there discipline and fearlessness, that draws me to this possible fase im going thru. samurai! :D
 
Azumi is actually tough to find. I ended up buying a bootleg copy off of ebay because I don't think there's an authentic Region 1 DVD out yet. There are also films like Twilight Samurai, Samurai Fiction and of course Toshiro Mifune's Samurai Trilogy available at places like Suncoast. I'm also a HUGE kung-fu movie fan, but this is a samurai thread!
 
i was to start a new thread to show this video, but i guessed i would fit just well in this thread Katana vs Gun


edit: extrange its the link straigh to the movie, but it takes you to the main page of the site, anyway just scroll down and you find it
 
Time to pimp Blade of the Immortal, methinks.

*pimps BotI*

There we go.

It's a manga. About a kengo. An immortal one, naturally. It's superb, and beautifully illustrated as well.
 
I watched Azumi a while back; I found it to be just so-so.

I really enjoyed the western take on the samurai ethos in Ronin. Very cool flick, and though a Euro-focussed crime caper, really did the whole samurai theme well. Likewise Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai.

From a Japanese cinematic angle, Seven Samurai is an awesome film but Yojimbo is my favourite. Seriously awesome stuff. The western A Fistful of Dollars is based on Kurosawa's screenplay.
