Fantastic film. Anyone have this track?
the titre of the music ???? please
SUPERRRRRRRRRR GHOST DOG
there is nothing wrong with the wAY he holds the sword emptiness is form there is no traditional in my book the sword can b held in many ways its what u do with it that counts..example the greatest swordsmen that lived miyamoto musashi won over two hundred battles and used a wooden bokken to do it with against real swordsmen, sometimes beating them to death with a fuckin peice of wood
my point is once u have a style it can be exploited and ur sword play is suppose to reflect how u are as spirt
yer, where you get it?
about wrongness, he is one eye blind so stick to that
but about helding the sword, iem no experienced swordsman but even i can see its wrong
yo wer’d you get it?
been lookin for it forever
i know theres lots of wrong things in this
movie how he holds the sword for one
veru good scene
kickass soundtrack
lovely actor
great movie
Forest moves fast for a big guy… graceful, too. top film.
when i saw the previews for this i thought this was a samurai flick. then when i saw this iwas impressed GREAT FUCKIN MOVIE!!!
“drop kicks in fatigues” Where? There’s a part where Ghost Dog looses his temper and shoots two hunters. And a part where a mugger gets his ass kicked. He’s a hitman, and i would think the motive for stealing a car obvious. It’s one less thing for the police to look for.
point of trivia: Forest Whitaker created these kata for the movie. As for the samurai stepping forward with the right foot, don’t get kata/ form confused with application. Most martial artists are very practical.
this song is poetry for the ears !! 5 starz
got it in my mp3 on repeat !!!
Aren’t samurai’s supposed to get up with the right leg first? In the way of tradition?
This film is very good. I loved it ^^
Umm can you explained to me why random people are jumping out the bushes doing drop kicks in fatigues. LoL. Bunch of gangsters with trite hackneyed lines right out of old mob movies. Then forest is fat and out shape, with dreads with a sword, but shooting and stealing cars. Every time I mention this movie at the table with friends everyone just bust out laughing….Heck I am laughing now.This movie was made on a shoe string budget and it shows. ..lol. I loved it, but as a comedy, nothing more.
Actually Ghost Dog doesn’t take revenge on anyone. The whole point of the film is he is trying to keep his Master, Louie, alive. His whole purpose is devotion to his Master. Hence the Way of the Samurai. Now he thinks Louie saved his life before, but Louie remembers that he was only defending which is the homage to Rashamon.
Actually captwasbi there is a book called Bushido: The Soul of Japan written by Inazo Nitobe. It was one of the first academic text’s on the Samurai. It was written in the early part of the 20th Century if memory serves me.
Actually Primetime7 the movie isn’t silly or senseless. It’s basically a modern day samurai drama. It’s based of the theme of Rashamon, seeing what we want and not what actually happened, which the girl is reading in the movie. That’s why all the flashback scenes are subtly different. Also the idea of Zen Mind is paramount throughout. The ice cream man is an example of this. Also the theme of honor codes contrasted with Ghost Dog and the Mafia Characters. All and all a deep film.
That was dope how he put the sword away. Everyone likes this movie. It got good reviews
This guy is nasty with that sword.
O sorry misunderstood. You’ll have to look online and get it shipped from Japan. Apperently it’s pretty rare in the US.
I know that. Thats why i’m looking for the japanese version. I don’t want any rapping; just the instrumentals.
this isn’t japanese; it’s by the RZA.
