Kiru (Kill!)

Chris is joined by The Projection Booth's Mike White to kick off Samurai September with a look at Kiru, a sendup of the samurai genre that utilizes humor and parody over stone-faced samurai. The film follows a former farmer and a former samurai who wander into a desolate town only to get swept into a power struggle between a clanlord and seven of his samurai who turn on him. It's a humorous take on the genre and worthy samurai film in its own right.
