Um throne of blood (although that may be hard to find), Kagemusha.
Oh also you know how 7 samurai inspired magnificient 7, well Yojimbo inspired A fist full of dollars. (A Clint Eastwood western. I think its the one in back to the future.)
Also an overlooked samurai movie(s) is the "Samurai" trilogy movies. It has Toshiro Mifune(Can't remember his name) and it is based on a legendary japanese samurai. The story is based on a book called Musashi and there is also a manga of it called Vagabond. I bet you can guess where I got my name from........
And last I agree with everything else but there is one movie I want to see. It's called Miracles and it has Jackie Chan. The intresting thing about it is that it looks like the backdrop form the 1920's but with kung fu. Looks cool. If anyone has any info regarding where I can find this movie please PM me.
EDIT: Can't forget, I just d/l a movie called Twilight of the Samurai. It is up for an oscar this year so it may be good. Need to watch it soon........ </td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'>
Yojimbo i must see cause fist full of dollars is one of my favorit films.
By the way the Samurai Aeon in Final Fantasy X isn't Yojimbo?
Is Vaganbond manga good?
Also if you know of any good Samurai manga other than Kensin and Peace Maker Kurogane tell me. I love anything with to do with Samurai
Im thinking of starting to learn Kendo.

The 1920's Kung Fu setting sounds familiar. I remember that older Japanese samurai movies have lots of gratuitous blood (hey, that sounds familiar.. Kill Bill, anyone?) Not too sure about the Jackie Chan part though.. Might be another Drunken Master though
And yes, the Samurai in FFX is Yojimbo. I think Yojimbo's a common name for Samurai warriors...
Some good Samuraiish anime/manga? Uhm.. I dunno.
I saw one episode of something called "Mobile Shinsengumi" about the daughters of the Shinsengumi members... but it's WAAAAAY shoujo.
Also, I never saw it, and I heard it's very Cowboy Bebop inspired, but "Kaze No Yojimbo" might be a good one?
Yojimbo means, the Bodyguard.
That is why the name is appropriate for the character in FFX. He is your bodyguard on your journey, but you have to pay him. A true bodyguard for hire.
Their is an anime called Kaze no Yojimbo, which is translated roughly to Wind Guardian. Sometimes it can mean Guardian, it just depends on the usage.
The legend of speed, and so close. maybe the storm riders.
Tokyo Raiders...not bad.
Accidental Spy
City Hunter
Iron Monkey
Crouching Tiger hidden dragon (with original chinese dialogue of course)
Fist of Fury
Way of the Dragon
Snake in the eagle's shadow\ old but good
Project A /
Dirty Kung Fu (no not a porno title)
Iron Fisted Monk (err doesn't sound right either)
Drunken Master...classic
Ninja in the dragon's den
Hitman
Once upon a time in China 1-3
Formerly known as 'Animemaster'
Thansk everyone for the tips
By the way i saw that you can rent The Seven Samurais in the libarery.
Ran is another god samurai flick. In color too.
Um throne of blood (although that may be hard to find), Kagemusha.

Meh i like Vagabond, but some may not like cause it doesn't have a superhuman main character. I think its kinda old (started in 2000) so right now i think volumes 1-7 are released in english. I dunno if you can find it on the internet though.
Also theirs an anime called Samurai deeper kyo. I don't really like it but you can decide on that yourself.
Oh also I just watch The Twilight Samurai. Not a lot of action but when there is it is really sweet.
Yeah Yojimbo also Inspired Last Man Standing with Bruce Willis, actually the movie almost completely ripped it off with 1930's gangsters.
and before that Clint Eastwood did his own version called a Fistful of Dollars. It was a spaghetti western where he did the same thing as Mifune's character.
Vagabond is based on Musashi's auto biography of the same name, right? I might have to check that out.
I am more psyched for Zatoichi, than anything right now. I have the Kurosawa Criterion Box Set and have been trying to watch them again.
My favorite Asian movie right now has to be Versus though. Get the Uncut Special Edition from Media Blasters, you will love it.
shaolin soccer is funny
Well i just watch Ichi the killer and I have to say its not really my thing. Very weird movie with weird action.
Anyways, kakashi what is Zatoichi? I saw a movie in a video store with the same name. I also saw one called Yojimbo vs Zatoichi or something.
Zatoichi is the fabled blind swordsman. Their have been many movies, series, and novels written about him.
The latest movie was directed by Takeshi Kitano, who also starred. It should be on DVD pretty soon if it isn't out already.
Zatoichi vs Yojimbo is an older movie in which Tushiro Mifune costars with the Zatoichi actor. He plays a Yojimbo, not Sanjuro the Yojimbo, but another character of the same type. All the old Zatoichi movies started getting listed for higher prices due to the popularity of the 2003 movie with Kitano.
Hatake Kakashi: I dunno if you already knew this but Zatoichi is coming to theaters in the US and probably Canada. I dunno if you live in either of these places. BTW do you know when it comes to DVD cause it said it is coming to movie theaters in the summer. The weirdest thing about this is that it is being brung over seas by miramax.
