Have you seen The Hunted (1995)?

Lone Wolf and Cub.
I prefer kung fu movies typically. I am the light of the morning and the shadow on the wall, I am nothing and I am all.

I have not seen the hunted. But I will soon. EDIT: I have seen this. Its just been a long time.
As for Kung Fu, there are some greats to, I was remembering some of the great movies that I had watched not too long ago thanks to IFC (Independent Film Channel) running them as a series. I have missed Twilight Samurai as well. I left Chushingura off by mistake. I knew of the 13 assassins, but have not watched it. Thanks for another tip. |

Not exactly a samurai movie, but Goemon (2009). Also Samurai Cop, of course.
<Tyrfalger> Exactly, the next act is going outside Sarn and into those wheat fields (see the map) to become a farmer. Then we can spend our days endlessly farming. Wait a minute...

More of a Kung fu movie but wanted to mention.
The Magic Blade (1976) watched it recently and loved it. "Withdrawing in disgust is not the same as apathy"

the last samurai
let's face it. Tom Cruise is best samurai. Hah not really, but it is a decent movie. 13 assassins is very good movie. ghost dog is excellent movie. The RZA does particularly good Japanese inspired sound tracks. Hey...is this thing on?
