[@Leos Klien] I heard that Hiroyuki Sanada was initially supposed to be the main character, with Keanu in the background but the studio wasn't having that. There were a lot of cool moments in that movie that I enjoyed. Such a shame. 

But yeah, Seven Samurai, Original 47, and Last Samurai I've seen. Great films. I've seen most of the Kurosawa films too - I think behind Samurai Seven, Yojimbo and Sanjuro are my favorites. Okamoto's Sword of Doom is pretty awesome too. I'll have to check out Bridge Over the River Kwai sometime. 

I guess the latest Samurai flick that came out is Kubo and The Two Strings, but I haven't heard too much about it... and of course Season 5 of Samurai Jack sometime towards the end of this year. Can't wait for that.
