I just watched a Korean movie called Empire of Lust. Takes place during the 14th Century. One good battle scene and lots of good swordplay. Evidently historically accurate as well.

AND....some very good *** scenes with a hot little Korean lady named Han-Na Kang. I counted 5 different ***ual positions
going on including blow jobs and cunnilingus.

Seven Samurai is the best samurai movie ever created. The ending was very sad though. Probably the saddest ending in samurai movies

I have that movie saved

Amazing film. 1954 i believe.

Great movie

I'm a big fan of MacBeth. If you get a chance, check out "Kumonosu-Jo" aka "Throne of Blood" by Akira Kurosawa, which is a Samurai movie based on MacBeth. I remember it being worthy.

1. Sword of Doom

^Respect for knowing that Tatsuya Nakadai classic. I've been telling people about that one for literally decades and always get a blank stare back.

There's better samurai films, but one that I treasure as much as that one. It's a study of madness that was decades before it's time.

That's solid^. Moves very slow so I recommend people be careful who they watch it with or it could ruin the experience. But, when one has the time to get immersed in it, it's such a rewarding experience. The sophistication of a Shakespeare story combined with the visual artistry of Kurosawa.

"The sword is the soul. Study the sword to know the mind. Evil mind, evil sword."

I haven't seen that movie in over a decade, but what I got from it isn't a study of madness, but identity. Mifune is a weapon. That's all he is. He isn't mad in a relative sense, but he was born to be a weapon. He was born to kill. That's his identity.

He was born in a human world, but he is a killer. He is a sword. He represents death. The sword of doom.

Maybe I remember it wrong, I gotta see it again.
