HILARIOUS! -- The "Scary Movie" of samurai films!

IMDB Review: Author: tnamwong, LA-USA, 31 July 2001



Before watching Kiru "Kill!", see Seven Samurai, Hidden Fortress, Sanjuro,

Yojimbo, and the awesome SWORD OF DOOM -- then you will catch all of the inside


jokes and truly appreciate this masterful parody. The humor in this movie is

conveyed elegantly. For example the director of "Kiru," Okamoto, who also

directed Sword of Doom, included a stone Buddha atop of the hill overlooking

the desolate town setting of the movie in reference to "Daibosatsu Toge" which


means "Great Buddha Pass" (the Japanese title for Sword of Doom). Okay that

wasn't the best example, but can you imagine henchmen screaming EXTRA loud

when they are butchered? Or how about a grimy farmer turning away a cute girl


he calls a "powdered monster!" Amidst the exaggerated dust storms, references


to the value of rice, mountain treks and the trouble 7 "children" or samurai

cause when planning a conspiracy is a trio of heroes: a farmer who yearns to be


a samurai, the last henchmen of an annihilated gang, and a vagabond (rather than


a dashing ronin) played by Tatsuya Nakadai. Yes, there are staring duels, flying


daggers, great fight scenes with wooden swords, but lastly a showdown that is


NOT in the middle of a ghost town or rolling field -- but in a tiny room.



This film is for the fans!!!
