So do the Samurai basically just get owned the entire movie?

Initially yes,theres some awesome battles!but the soldiers only have the ammo and fuel that they were carrying,so when that runs out they get owned :evil:

[EvilNed]

Wow. Those samurai sure are stupid...

"Come on men, we'll take our swords and spears and attack these iron encased beasts even though we just lost 1000 men in one single wave a few minutes ago and there seems to be no prospect of victory. Come! For honor!"

I mean, in reality any army would just turn and ****ing RUN!

i dont knwo if this or shogun assiasin is cheesier but this looks just as good as a babys pram with blades sticking out the wheels cutting ninjas feet off:lol:

[capncnut]

Shogun Assassin is awesome, the 6 DVD boxed set of Lone Wolf And Cub is really worth checking out. :cool:

[Tricky]

Its definately worth a watch with a few beers and not wanting much plot :D ive not seen shogun assasin though!worth a watch for a good bit of cheese?

[capncnut]

Shogun Assassin can be a little cheesy but the movie itself was taken from one episoide of a mighty 6 part 9 hour epic called Lone Wolf & Cub. The violence is relentlessly hardcore btw.

That a soldiers spirit is in his ability to adapt to change , even if his weapon jams , or a pig sticker wielding enemy gets in the chopper .
The armies that can survive the modern & old way will have the best chances .

Ah Ive never seen this but I own a very similair film called Samurai commando if you want the actual name Ill search the dvd out. I bought it after a hard night of drinking and smoking so a samurai with tanks in the background seemed like a good idea.

The film is similair to the one youre talking about but I quite liked it...Its got a decent story to boot its not just all killing. Ties in with the japenese age of civil war heavily : Shrug : If you want any info for this £2 nugget jus gimem a nod.

That trailer is crazy with the Japanese the samurai fighting then been mauled aka attacked by a modern battle Japanese helicopter with these powerful gunners that just keep on slaughtering these guys one by one. This movie is crazy but looks fun to watch… so cool where I sign up to get a copy!?:lol:
