I just watched this movie with my girlfriend last night... It was my 4th time watching and it never ceases to amaze me... One of the most beautiful and bad-ass movies ever made.
One thing I really love about this film is how every single swing of a blade is significant. Each one determines life and death. Like a bullet in a good action movie. Also love how Taka gets to show her Mama bear claws.
You wrote this 6 whole years ago my gosh golly, i do believe this is the perfect time for a very drunk Irish man to enter the frey.. Have no idea what your comment means i didn't read the whole txt to be honest but what i did like was the spacing i adored the brackets i think placing the word victory a fifth word in is jus a work of art, i salute you man of the past..
Most underrated movie , excellent sound track, brilliant acting not only by Tom cruise but 3-4 other actors, Tom Cruise started off as a cool actor with classics like Top gun and Cocktail but then he showed his serious acting abilities in few good men, Interview with a vampire, Collateral, Oblivion and Last Samurai
1:13-1:17 An incredible details for those who love japanese swords Katsumoto sword is called a katana, and the ninjas' swords are called Ninjatō. The difference is the curve; Ninjatō does not have the curved blade, it is all straight, unlike the katana. Kudos to the movie maker who finally knows the difference.
supposedly ninjato didn't exist back then. it was made up by hollywood ninja movies. I wish a straight sword from ancient japan would pop up today so we had proof.
@@riquestrong9496 Quite a few straight swords have been recovered from Yamato/Nara/Heian periods, predecessing the ascendance of the Samurai ..... in fact, the Samurai or the military class adopted the curved sword from the Emishi people or the indigenous people of Japan, whom they pushed north to Hokkaido over centuries of armed conflicts .......
Cool how katsumotos ability to foght multiple opponents at once had been alluded to earluer in the film when we saw him training with the wooden swords
that stare of honor and friendship between cruise and the conqueror,priceless,i've seen it in my friends every time we clean out a bar,friends are people who you can turn your back to,no worries,phenomenal movie, cruise,life is empty without real friends
@Miscre8ted I'll beg to differ on that count. Been watching Tom since the beginning. Paul Neuman said after "The Color of Money, This kid is going to go all the way".
Sadly, most of the ninjas involved in this mission were genin freshly graduated from the academy. Only two of them survived. One returned to tell of the botched mission that claimed even the lives of their chunin and jonin supervisors. The other went rogue and has not been heard of since.
The Law of Conservation of Ninjas: One ninja, particularly when faced with massive odds, is a credible threat and is almost assured of victory. If he loses, it's a heroic sacrifice and a disproportionate number of the enemy go down with him. Any more than three ninjas are simply cannon fodder for our protagonists to kill at their leisure.
I will always love the chemistry between katsumoto and algren at 1:39 The way he ducks under katsus sword to slash the guy behind him. I love it Also 1:53 "did we just become best friends"
They saved each others backsides without a word exchanged. Yeah I think that qualifies as becoming friends. Algren didn’t run from a challenge, he jumped in straight on into a fight
In my opinion this is Tom's best film. However, Ken Watanabe's performance was superlative. Every word, pause,speech and fight scene, was acting at its finest.
Sounds like he's saying, "Kore Musha" Which is, "This is a samurai" I'm assuming referring to the dead they just killed like, "This is what happens when you cross blades with a samurai" And the others chime in with a grunt of agreement. "Ahhh".
@ Jake Smith According to a book I read they actually wore dark blue because the moonlight would have reflected off of them, making it harder for them to hide. Also, they did wear peasant's clothes...but only during the daytime, both during missions and in their free time/training.
+mrjordanx31 " it's the answer to life's questions" Said every dumb brute and thug ever. And the Samurai themselves were NOT dumb brutes (atleast most of them).
The background for the period of the movie [History] is incorrect. For example, the Japanese soldiers' armor and costumes in this movie are from the late 16th century, not the late 19th century (at that time from the end of the Tokugawa period to the beginning of the Meiji period). In addition, Westerners like the word "samurai", but in Japan at that time, it was more popular to call it "bushi", "buke", "bujin", "bumon" instead of "samurai".
True fact: There's no historical evidence that ninjas (which BTW, "ninja" is not a japanese word, it's the Chinese pronounciation of the Kanji characters for "shinobi", their REAL name) actually wore black. They usually infiltrated as vagrant workers in peasant clothing, and usually did little infiltration beyond what work allowed and various methods of sabotage. Besides, mottled gray clothing works better than black in the dark, it breaks up the silhouette in shadows better.
Ken Watanabe (real name - Carlos Maduro) he is a Mexican modern nude dancer. He was born on May 14, 1977 (age 46) in Monterey, Nuevo Leon, Mexico. Has Japanese descent. Ken Watanabe named his stage name after the Japanese actor Ken Watanabe. He made his debut in the modern nude industry in 2003 at the age of 26.
Reminds me of this Deadliest Warrior episode where they were doing a battle match up between a Ninja and a Spartan and had the fight take place in an enclosed, totally empty arena with no structures or terrain whatsoever for the Ninja to use, and so the Ninja just faced the Spartan in a straight head on 1v1 duel and of course completely lost.
Situational Awareness beats ninjas. Every time some bloke gets stabbed, its owed to their clumsiness. Just a look over here or a thought about security could have the "super-human" mounted in a trophy case.
That warrior scream at the end gets me every time! Probably one of Tom Cruise's most underrated films.
right before the scream ujio yells something i realy wanna know what he says..
goosebumps every time.
@@alphaac1 a 10yr comment below mentions "menshomasha" meaning "victory is ours".
Wouldn't say underrated. This movie was very popular
i thought this movie is pretty damn well known.
“誰も逃すな” もしくは “1人も逃すな”と言っています。
Hitori mo nogasuna!
→“Don't let anyone get away!”
I just watched this movie with my girlfriend last night... It was my 4th time watching and it never ceases to amaze me... One of the most beautiful and bad-ass movies ever made.
Same and same lmao
ew xou probably did something disgusting with her
That kid had BALLS of Iron
He was surrounded by men with balls of iron. His decision was rash but natural ... and it made a huge difference in the fight.
He is the son of a samurai after all, but don't tell Jin Sakai about that
@@hohuy1469 nice one!!😂😂
What "kid"? _That_ was a young man.
No, he has balls of steel.
That Samurai victory cry will always give me goosebumps..
Apparently it is translated to roughly "don't let a single one escape". Can't confirm or deny but I agree that cry is amazing
@@redjeunesse6292tnx
The Samurai knew how to kick ass! Epic warriors!
Yep.
One thing I really love about this film is how every single swing of a blade is significant. Each one determines life and death. Like a bullet in a good action movie.
Also love how Taka gets to show her Mama bear claws.
He screams '¡menshomasha!' or '¡victory is ours!'.The rest respond in a spartan-like yell of endorsement. :)

Thanks, Seven years later I now know what they screamed out.
I thought he said "WASSUUPP!!"
@@jakejjacob4130 hahaha
thank you for the translation, I've always wondered what he shouted. Regardless that response yell at the end was so badass.
1:36 camping the ninja spawn point to farm that XP! 😂😂😂
@bradyvelvet9432 1:50 Level UP! 😃
1:50 was the most epic moment daaaaaamn~~~
yea, but what is he saying though?

@@Tout-Le-Monde02 I stand corrected sir
@@riquestrong9496 I read that the ninjatos originated from villagers finding broken katanas
The main problem with ninjato is ninjas are a myth.

Nothing like a Samurai's Katana being run through you to make you curse your highschool guidance counselor...."I think you'd make a fine Ninja!".
Bob is the "Yoda" of Samurais
that stare of honor and friendship between cruise and the conqueror,priceless,i've seen it in my friends every time we clean out a bar,friends are people who you can turn your back to,no worries,phenomenal movie, cruise,life is empty without real friends
I love this movie. First time Tom Cruise convinced me he was a serious actor.
Yup, killing a lot of bad guys can really be convincing..
You never watched the firm like 30 years ago?
Dumbass FairyTale Movie
4th of July acting is great too

THAT WAS VERY INFORMATIVE AND VERY WELL PUT TOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
As Newton detailed in his experimentation
Newton understood bushido well
this movie is worth all its money the best movie i've seen in war has action and you're not tired of a perfect movie :)
I will always love the chemistry between katsumoto and algren at 1:39
The way he ducks under katsus sword to slash the guy behind him. I love it
Also 1:53 "did we just become best friends"

Spending years training to be a Ninja but you still can't beat a little kid.
In my opinion this is Tom's best film.
However, Ken Watanabe's performance was superlative.
Every word, pause,speech and fight scene, was acting at its finest.
1:50 Level up; achievement unlocked.
I absolutely love the last part of this scene --- Unity at its best!
1:50 goosebumps
One of my fave movies, Tom is perfect in it, and this fighting scene is simple AWESOME!
I never tired of watching this part of the movie.
that stare said it all,they are locked brothers for life,you fight with a man,well, the ultimate decision of friendship,been there
The editing in this scene is out of this world. Must have been a nightmare though.
Imagine being a kid and picking up your deceased dad's sword to deal with home invaders.
You'll grow up into monster.
Sounds like he's saying,
"Kore Musha"
Which is,
"This is a samurai"
I'm assuming referring to the dead they just killed like,
"This is what happens when you cross blades with a samurai"
And the others chime in with a grunt of agreement. "Ahhh".
Fricken ninjas man. The stormtroopers of asia.
Of course I'm here after ghost of tsushima
You beat me to it!
im here during ghost of tsushima haha just got it
Me, I'm here after replaying Nioh.

So much bad assery in one scene.
0:41 Cruise is almost on the sword. 0:52 You can see on the background that Ninja gets off Cruise’s back 0:56 he is still on Cruise’s back
1:15 both of them have sword in the next cut not so much :D
Say what you want about Tom Cruise, but he puts his all into his action scenes...
It’s crazy to think Lincoln was sitting in his office during this 😂
God, I love this movie.
WUZZZAA, hoooooah! The sound of victory. These men are always ready.
"The sword is more then a simple weapon, it's the answer to life's questions,"
+mrjordanx31 " it's the answer to life's questions"

Man I love this movie!❤
The ninja were being glib...
They paid with their lives.
Chills. Incredible seen
1:50 - me when the drive-thru order has everything in the bag I paid for.
I like how utterly incompetent the ninjas are.
Now i`m wondering what this would have been like with denzel washing ton in it.
Actually you know what the Scotts can do for us
🌹❤️🌹 Samurai ❤️🌹❤️
Of course he did. You don't get to be Bobs age in that profession without being scary-good at what you do.
when he said "Isharaimashe" i felt that
"minagoroshi da!" We massacre all
@@jaktritten there's literally no 'da' in his scream.
kept expecting shredder to show up to command all the foot clan
total war shogun 2: the last samurai Minigun went brrrrrr
Question; Are there still even Shinobis during the Meiji Restoration?????
There were still "spies," not sure if they were ninjas.
has no one else ever realized the mistake that happens in the background at 00:52?
Steve Swindells what's the mistake?
Tom Cruise stabs him in the eye in the background 5 seconds before we actually see him stab him lol
steve swindells yeah
Maybe his other eye :P

I just told my brother its like memoirs of a geisha, but for a real G.
You guys doing some sneaks again or what
Joe Rogan said that Steven Segal was an aikido technical advisor on this film....and on dmt...
Steve:🇯🇵 and 1X🇺🇲 (Samurai) VS 🇨🇳(Ninja)!!!
Steve:🇯🇵(Samurai) Kills 19X 🇨🇳(Ninja)!!!
These guys must’ve been trained by ANBU black ops 🤣
All I thought was that, he was going Jackie Chan mode in this clip until he used the sword.

Ninjas are more stealth assassins than combatants.

Did they have mops in 19th century Japan?
badass
Them ninjas clearly all pick support and no carry. GG.
yep that's how i deal with ninja's that attack my house too.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
Ethan Hunt was trying to beat the Ninjas..
0:48 Lord Sakai Sr wished his son was a bit like this kid
Victory Is ours, your welcome.
These ninjas work for the League of Shadows
BEAUTIFULLY AND VERY WELL PUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I wonder if Tom Cruise has ever died in any of his movies.
american made, edge of tomorrow, oblivion, valkyrie, collateral
You are totally right, but Samurai vs Ninjas sounds cool.
Time to make the walls out of bricks
You guys could even call Genesis
what do they scream at the end in Japanese? Can anyone find out?
Never fuck with the samurais, or else you are going to have a bad day.
What the hell does Uijo yells at the end of the battle?
Miguel Rodfher I have no idea but it was absolutely epic hahaha
He yells:
Wa Subete Korosa...

ARE YOU OK, EVERYONE?
@@kress64 Looool does his face looks like he's actually saying that 😂
Good you know your stuff but it was mostly a type of dark blue.
Ninja, in real life, would not stick around if they knew they were outskilled or outmatched. Way to blow it on this depiction of them.
Reminds me of this Deadliest Warrior episode where they were doing a battle match up between a Ninja and a Spartan and had the fight take place in an enclosed, totally empty arena with no structures or terrain whatsoever for the Ninja to use, and so the Ninja just faced the Spartan in a straight head on 1v1 duel and of course completely lost.
Ninja was a spy or assassin, this is just fantasy.
Now that's clothing
Just imagine the adrenaline of that moment xD
Trinity...he is the one.
0:52 algren actually managed to escape
Not if they can whip the gun out of your hand before you can fire a shot.
@omegagilgamesh
These ninja's aren't peasants thou. According to their apparel, i'd say they are part of the army.
All these ninjas but no ninja daggers
Samurai vs ninja. As cool as they are ninja have no chance against such a disciplined opponent
I've always been wondering what does the last part screaming mean.
Its been 8 years you asked but it means (victory is ours). I hope you will see this. :)
1:49 anyone knows what he had shouted?
Subetedesu ka
Fuck this was a kick arse scene. I remember seeing this thinking it wouldn't be that good, but it was a pretty entertaining movie.
Epic
If this movie was made today, it will be banned for the ninjas black face
