Kill!
A samurai satire, equal parts sword-play and jet-black comedy this is full of Japanese cinema inside jokes, double crosses and fast-paced action. Tatsuya Nakadai ('Kagemusha') is perfectly cast as the 'been there, done that' samurai who's hung up his sword. Based on the book 'Peaceful Days' that also inspired Kurosawa's 'Sanjuro' in which Nakadai played the heavy.
