Sword of Doom.
Those have been on my list for a long time but I never got around to watching them. Have to fix that.
Thanks. Big fan of Nakadai and of course Kurosawa and Kobayashi.
I'll check it out. Thanks

>other than the usual suspects by Kurosawa, Kobayashi etc.
honestly the further you stray from that era and those directors the more wildly the quality is going to vary
if you want some great samurai films that are (wildly) varying in quality, there's like 26 Zatoichi (the blind swordsman) films, the first few are great then they're maybe
Kill! is a good one
so is Sword of the Beast
goyokin is fricking great
luv me tatsuya nakadai
Terrible plebeian post. There are countless outstanding samurai movies not made by those few you know because you don't know shit.
Enlighten us
Not sure if it qualifies as a usual suspect, but Kitano's take on Zatoichi was pretty good.
>Kitano's take on Zatoichi was pretty good.
No. Go frick yourself.
what the actual frick are you supposed to do in this position? if you raise your sword and step forward to deliver a slashing attack the other guy is just going to stab you
if you lunge forward and go for a stab you're probably going to get stabbed at the same time
sword fighting is fricking moronic no wonder firearms were invented
flick the opposing sword aside, then cut the sword arm
his sword is on the right side of the other guy's sword (doesn't matter who you look at), so if he steps forward-left he gets out of the stab zone. This would severely block his sword, but if the raises his hands at the same time his sword goes under the other sword and works as a guard
angle your sword while stepping forward, pushing his sword up and to the left, keeping it away from you while preventing him from striking with it, then stab him while your sword is at an angle, all in one swift fluid motion. This is basic stuff, swordfighting is not some turn based thing where you cant attack and defend at the same time
Take a step back, moron.

I really liked killing.
Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai
Lone wolf + cub series was popular in the west
Ghost Dog
Try the five-part Miyamoto Musashi series by Tomu Uchida. It's much better and more complex than the Mifune Samurai Trilogy, with much less annoying female characters. Kinnosuke Nakamura's Musashi is also way deeper than Mifune's is, and Ken Takakura is really entertaining as a delightfully arrogant and obnoxious Sasaki Kojiro.
13 Assassins is one of my favorite movies of all time.
Lord Naritsugu is the best Samurai movie villain I've ever seen. He's pure fricking evil and his characterization as a dude who loves war because he lacks experience with the gritty reality of it is pretty unique.
The Usual Suspects was by Bryan Singer and it wasn't a samurai movie.
I wouldn't wipe my ass with Japan. Boring people with a short, shitty history. Can't make kino for shit, they just recycle the same boring ass slop. Imagine being a weeb and guzzling it down like a good bukakke prostitute. Could never be me.
