- Whats up Gays and Gals!? Welcome or welcome back to my channel! Today I am doing another donation reaction and this movie was an absolute blast to watch. It's been quite awhile since I have seen a good karate movie and watching this reminded me why I do enjoy them. The ending left in me in suspense and I was not expecting something different. You will see how much fun I had in my reaction.

Thanks for Watching and Hope you guys enjoy my reaction...
Seven Samurai is a must; Kurosawa was the Bergman, Spielberg, Hitchcock, and Eastwood of Japan. And it has the absolute best depiction of what it meant to be a Ronin in chaotic times.
Seven Samurai mannnn 👌
That is absolutely a pinnacle unbelievably unforgettable movie. He definitely has to watch that one
The bandit who fought with the rocks at the end who survives was actually a type of Oni. Basically a Japanese "demon" or spirit but not necessarily evil. Him talking about living in the forest and that scene where it shows his girlfriend bloody in the forest eating "something" hints at that.
Yep
btw only the Red Oni Demon can do good deeds
She's eating afterbirth.
I thought he was a Tengu
Since he mentions 'do you think I'm a racoon', I figured he was a tanuki (a racoon-dog, odd animal native to Japan). In mythology they can shape-shift into human form and are known for being really over-sexed, which is part of the uncut version of the movie. He ends up wearing out an entire brothel and then assaulting the pimp.
My thought was that he was a ninja
One of my favorite samurai movies
Mine too.
I really appreciated the hunter character thrown in as an homage to Toshiro Mifune's character from "Seven Samurai".
True live by the sword die by the sword shit.
If you decide to watch another samurai movie, you have to check out 'Seven Samurai' arguably the best samurai movie ever made and overall a great movie.
I second this. I also HIGHLY recommend the movie Harakiri (1962). The Japanese actors Toshiro Mifune (Seven Samurai; Yojimbo) and Tatsuya Nakadai (Harakiri; Sword of Doom) have given us some of the most badass, if not THE most badass, samurai characters in the history of cinema.
I'll third it. One of the best movies ever made.
I 4th it. Seven Samurai is the pinnacle of classic samurai films. Also, I feel like Yojimbo is right up D's alley.
it’s a towering milestone of cinematic excellence
I'll have to add it is the standard of masterpiece, undeniable the best ever!
One of the best movies, you really time travel to japan for a few hours with this one. p.s. love your reactions.
AGREED! It's a hidden gem amount great movies.
Check out “When the last sword is drawn” or “Twilight Samurai” two amazing samurai movies
Twilight Samurai 👍👍
Twilight Samurai is awesome
I am a huge fan of Takashi Miike's work and this is one of my favorites of all his films. Thank you for reacting to this one. Please keep doing all that you do. Love your channel!
Agreed!
Katanas, definitely the coolest swords EVER made in the history of the world 👍
15:38 i've owned this movies for a few years now, one of my favs, it's the same story as "Seven Samurai". the guys weird hairline is from i believe to be a burn scar, from a house fire, maybe when he was a child. another good series to check out would be Zatoichi : The Blind Swordsmen. 👍
Holy crap, I've never met anyone else who knows of Zatoichi. Crazy movie, never understood a word of it, but the story is explained through the screen. Found it by mistake at a second hand DVD shop.
@@prollins6443 i've got 17 of the films (Criterion Collection) and 3 seasons of the tv series, amazing! great stories and Actor R.I.P.
@Necramonium and yojimbo and sanjuro
@@sennin7139 let's just say he needs to watch Kurosawa's whole body of work
Already know this gonna be fire, came straight from the bell notification sir.
Thank you for watching it w/o dubbing. This was the best way to watch the film. Its one of my Top 20 of all time.
Incredible film. Props to the guy who paid to request it.
The Samurai were no joke!!! Hardcore warriors, and men of honor. I love the history of the Samurai period in Japan. Great film, great reaction!!!
Lol, most of them were pos.
Not enough people are reacting to this movie! Thank you!
“The 36 Chambers of Shaolin “ is an all time Kung-Fu classic
DONT miss it !
I'm glad you're reacting to this movie but sad to hear it didn't do well in the poll. I believe more people should watch it. I certainly believe more people should watch "13 Assassins" than much of the cinematic pablum I see every reaction channel watching.
Interesting story about the Japanese principle that you're obliged to be loyal regardless: In WW2, the Prime Minister of Japan made a surprising announcement addressed to Japanese-Americans saying that America was their country now and that they were therefore honor bound to be loyal to America. Contrast that to Germany which told German-Americans to "return to the Fatherland" and fight for Germany. Different beliefs about what loyalty demands of a person.
Movie was so Ganxsta.. one that I got in my collection. Takashi Miike makes some intense great movies and then some off the wall crazy shxt. Me too, at the beginning I would get lost at times who was who.
When a seasoned samurai drops their sheath/saya… Run. It means they have no intention of leaving anyone alive, and they intend to die trying.
And here we go, another of my absolute favorite movies that I always knew you would enjoy. You really are awesome, Mr. G! You are my favorite TH-camr at this point, I practically hold my breath waiting for each time you post something. Keep it coming! Another samurai focused movie with fantasy elements I think you would enjoy and would love to see you react to is 47 Ronin starring Keanu Reeves. Oh, and I definitely applaud you for watching this in the original language with subtitles, in my opinion the only way to watch foreign films.
BRO ! you gotta see they live 1987
*YES* , I knew you'd like this one!
Hey Devin G love your reaction videos can you react to IP MAN 2008 next there's 4 movies its about Bruce Lees master all true stories great films
I’m telling you Devin if you want a touching movie based on a true story that’s a sleeper movie(many have over looked) 👀 and that’s Hotel Rwanda….Got to see it . Like tears of the sun most people haven’t heard of it…
If you have never seen 1992 movie Last of the Mohicans with Daniel Day Lewis in it try to watch it very good movie..:)
found your channel the other day and been on a binge
you should also react to 47 Ronin
I second that!
Third, plus I've been requesting it for a while. What say we pool our resources to donate and force him to watch it!😁
The moment I saw the girl without limbs I knew the lord had to go immediately. Crazy they accepted to have that guy in power that long just to keep balance, but he just went too far.
Movie suggestion: *Rescue Dawn (2006)*
Following a crash during the Vietnam War, fighter pilot gets caught by peasants.
In captivity, he hatches and executes an escape plan.
This is the only platform im on so i cant recommend anywhere else but i am 100% sure you would love boondock saints. The storytelling in that one is pure art. Hope you will consider it cos i would love to see your reaction
Almost anything by Akira Kurosawa is incredible; but Yojimbo is to my mind his greatest.
Top notch reaction, I don’t expect anything less when it comes to your content. Keep it up.
Somebody please help me with the name of a movie: I believe it’s general tso something. He is a general and gets captured. He has 8 or 9 sons who go out to get him back. Won’t spoil the movie with what happens but I know someone knows the name.
I believe the movie name is
Saving General Yang
Just been noticing the beginning of your description has a typo on a lot of videos. Some say "Whats up Guys!?" Then some say "Whats up Guys and Gals!?" well now theres "Whats up Gays and Gals!?"
Maybe its a creators choice lol. Love the reaction btw
Outrage & beyond outrage are yukza movies staring the same guy & they are badass
Oh damn! One of my favourite movies. Badass sword fighting action and samurai honor drama. Maybe Takashi Miike's best film.
It's also kinda cool that the 13th assassin was some god or nature spirit who saw that those 12 guys were on a good business and decided to join up. (My interpretation, obvioysly.)
Takashi Miike is an amazing movie maker my personal top 3 movies by him are Hara Kiri, 13 Assassins and Blade Of The Immortal. You should definitely react to Blade Of The Immortal.
This movie is fantastic!
If you want to see something very cool? Check out Zatoichi, the blind swordsman. The early stuff. 1960s version.
Samurai serve. There is always someone higher until you reach the emperor. They follow their orders without question to do so would mean big shame in Japanese culture, no matter what the orders.
The point of the suicide on the bridge was to force the Lord to take a certain route. (Knowing where your enemy will be.) The guy who blocked the lord was the ruler of the lands but he did so against the wishes of the Lord he serves, because the bad lord killed his son. Refusing his lords orders was permitted. But the shame of refusing those orders demanded he commit suicide.
And I THINK the level of honor dropped on a properly performed suicide was like chiseling it in stone. So even though he disobeyed his lord by refusing him passage, performing the suicide was to smooth any shame. If HIS Lord had gone against the wishes of the suicide??? That's bad medicine.
Dev, Please watch The 13th Warrior. it is one of my favorites, you will enjoy it immensely.
Lo, there do I see my father.
Lo, there do I see my mother.
And my sisters and my brothers
Lo, there do I see the line of my people
Back to the beginning.
Lo, they do call to me.
They bid me take my place among them
In the halls of Valhalla
Where the brave may live forever.
Ahhh, the horrified face of someone watching a Takashi Miike movie first time through. 😨
Getting closer to 50k 🤘😁🤘 loving the channel and awesome reactions
Many of the movies named below are awesome. Glad you're exploring the genre of Asian cinema. Hope to watch more of your reactions.
Gangs of New York with Leonardo DiCaprio!
This is a good one!!! One of my favorites.
I'd strongly recommend Blade of The Immortal (taken from the manga) the dude kills 1000 people I think in the movie
Found your channel a few day ago. I like your reactions and the movies you watch! Just subscribed to you! ;-)
I love "13 Assassins." It doesn't romanticize the samurai; they were b-rut-tal, and this movie shows it. It's the Japanese version of Titus Andronicus.
Great movie 👍👍
Great reaction... Maybe check out Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon...Not a samurai film, but fun fight sequences by the same fight coordinator that did The Matrix Yuen Woo-ping
Shinobi: Heart of the blade. 🔥
I recommend Equilibrium starting Christian bale
Watch *HEAT* that's one awesome movie with an All-Stat cast.
Oh, HELL YES! Love this film! ... well, that work I brought home is going to have to wait now!
Zatoichi is also a nice samouraï film 😉
Generation Kill is what you need to react to next
Check out "Outrage" and "Outrage 2" also any Zatoichi films
The 13th warrior,1996 or around that time...
Watch "Requiem for a dream".
But do it on a night you can get drunk after, you're gonna need a couple of stiff ones after.
This movie goes hard..
You definitely need to watch Shot Caller.
Please watch Taking Chance. Maybe make it a short or something but please watch that movie.
good thing you saw it with subtitles, because the dubbed version is unwatchable.
Fist of legend.. jet li 💪🏾
Review Hara-Kiri next
Please watch “No Country for Old Men” !!!
Suggest the 13th warrior
You need to watch the Japanese anime Ninja Scroll
Watch and react to samurai ayothoya that one is good too...
Movie - Ford vs Ferrari
Try to watch hamburger hill ! :)
Please do green book
I'm gonna comment Uncommon valor until you watch it
this film is loosely based on true events in japan a group of samuri had to dissband because of there lord ,they left there families and made out they were down and out and beaten for 2 years ,then made a plan to kill the lord who dishonoured there lord in his own stronghold
It was futile Japanese culture. Samurai term I believe means man who serves. Samurai were devoted to the Lord's about them to give their lives for them. They didn't have higher causes of morality like Christians in the west needed to justify War and violence. The motivation was honor and Glory. Both of which could only be gained by serving your lord.
And i am not saying christians in the west always needed a moral justification. But being excommunicated by the church was a real deterent for stepping way out of line like the shogun's brother did in this film.
These choices lately, like wtf bro
The first samurai killed himself as a protest to the bad guys ascension to the leader of the clan, the family being used for archery practice was the family of that samurai that committed suicide.
The only way someone could lodge a protest beyond the chain of command, was to forfeit his life while leaving his petition in lieu of a death poem.
This movie is badass. Don't get to see many brutal Katana fights in movies these days.
Great reactions as always brother ✊
Guy with the rocks represents an Oni, an ancient demon, he was just along for the ride!
I as a westerner interpreted that character as some sort of "angel of death" or something like that.
Omg dude you did it! I’ve been requesting this movie for you for the longest time and didn’t think you would! Wow Much respect. I hope you enjoyed this. This is a samurai classic. Top 5 samurai movies.
Saw this movie in theaters. One of the best experiences of my life. So good!
Me too, the last one for me was Saving Private Ryan.
I like the philosophical debate between Hanbei and Shinza about the samurai code. And the Ronin one shotting so many guys is hilarious
Another great samurai movie is "Zatoichi the blind swordsman" from the 1962. One of the best movies out there
The forest hunter many theories are out there, as others pointed out he could be a Onryõ vengeful spirit, or Kitsune possessed by a fox to bring balance back, and even a theory that he is the yin/yang part of one of the 12 and that is why he did not die from the sword to the neck and this was a form of having that one former samurai find a purpose for him and his wife now that old life was done.
31:25 i've seen this in a few Samurai films, they let the enemy stab them to get the close as possible, so they can do major damage to the enemy as well. he's been battling hundreds of men, and wants this fight to be over soon, so instead of dueling and making himself more tired, he'll take the stab. i think John Wick did this as well at the end of the 1st film.
It's a famous battle tactic...
It brings your target close blinded by confidence. Immobilize the weapon & main fighting hand.
I think he just want the lord to know that he is nothing that he isn't shit - but at the same time I feel like he felt that he already fulfilled his mission so he just wants to die oo.
He completed the mission, and even if he didn't let him stab him , he was gonna commit seppuku anyway , so he chose to die in battle instead and also even though he was a psychopath the lord was still a high ranked samurai and the shogun's brother , so he let him die with honor too
Seppuku or ritualistic disembowelment and beheading is done to remove any dishonor. Being defeated is dishonorable. Making a controversial move can also be viewed as dishonorable.
The men that committed Seppuku in this film were openly defying a Lord. They had good reasons to do so but that doesn't matter. Samurai means to serve and it is not their place to question or disobey even when they have great cause to do so.
Seppuku at the very least proves one's sincerity beyond any doubt.
In these cases it wasn't to avoid dishonor. In the first case it was a form of protest against the behavior of Naritsugu. In the second case on the bridge it was to take personal responsibility for preventing the passage of Naritsugu, so that his family and clan wouldn't be held responsible. And the result was that Naritsugu was forced to pass through Ochiai.
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes,yes,yes YES!!!!!!! One of my top 5 favorite films of all time. Takashi Miike is a film genius. This is just a great samurai movie, easily right up there with some of Kurosawa's best. I LOVE THIS MOVIE!!!!!!
In the past 25yrs, this movie from Japan is one of the best in all cinema. Beside the bad CGI bulls...this movie is top-notch in every category. Love all the actors/actress and the plot....WOW! I can't remember when a film can make me feel so emotional...since Saving Private Ryan. One of my top five film of all time, a hidden gem.
You should see saving Ryan's privates...
😂😂😂
My favorite one out of the whole group was The Ronin Hirayama Kujuro was the most badass of them all. He was that one Samurai who unsheathed his sword and dropped his saya. The moment you see something like that. A few things comes to mind. One he’s not bs around. Two he’s seriously gonna kill everyone and intended to die trying to do so. Wished he lived to be honest.
For the samurai it was considered a great honor to die in battle. Retiring and dying of old age was sort of embarrassing. This is why the guy was so excited to get this assignment. It was one last chance to die in battle and why he let the guy stab him in the end.
Seven samurai is which this movie is based off of. 1954 i believe, great movie as well. It is in black & white also north of 3 hours. Think you'd enjoy that as well.
To answer your question, Shinzaemon let the lordling stab him because either way, he was going to kill him. But taking that stab also let HIM die, which is what he wanted. He didn't want to live on after this, there's no life for a Samurai of the old way in Japan by this point. This way he goes out in a blaze of glory.
Love the reaction, love this film. I specifically searched for a reaction to this film, found your channel, now subscribed!
Man, you have been on a roll with some of my favorite movies lately. Fantastic reactions and always enjoyable. You might like Curse of the Golden Flower next.
Hey took the blade to know exactly where he would be hit- using his body to lock the blade so he could put the killing blade into Lord N.
No guarantee in a live blade match.
His mission was to kill Lord N.
Take the blade and be assured of victory
Same director - In his 100th film: Blade of the Immortal.
It was absolutely amazing. I recommend it if you like the samurai or yakuza genre.
This has a touch of fantasy involved.
the animation is dope too
I'd go with the kinda recent Zatoichi remix. The sword scenes are so good.
@@MrBendylaw I really liked that one too. Very well shot with music scores matching movement within the shot. Definitely worth watching. Beat Takeshi is always great in his roles.
There are some cut scenes that explain the "immortal" guy alittle but more. And theres also a cut ending where the surviving samurai return to his lover.
You have Excellent taste. Clint Eastwood to Takashi Miike. This is such a good movie
Eiichi Kudo's original film is a gem of classic japanese cinema, but this remake of the prolific Takashi Miike breathes classicism and spirit of adventure from beginning to end.
100% pure cinema and emotion, without fantasy tricks or excess of digital effects, cinema that raises your blood pressure and takes your breath away. A worthy remake at the height of the classics.
Thx for another entertaining Reaction , much appreciated in this F´d up times
I can’t believe you did this movie. Respect
One of my favourite movies!
Hell yeah. I liked this movie
We here devin!!’
