HILARIOUS! -- The "Scary Movie" of samurai films!
IMDB Review: Author: tnamwong, LA-USA, 31 July 2001

Before watching Kiru "Kill!", see Seven Samurai, Hidden Fortress, Sanjuro,
Yojimbo, and the awesome SWORD OF DOOM -- then you will catch all of the inside
jokes and truly appreciate this masterful parody. The humor in this movie is
conveyed elegantly. For example the director of "Kiru," Okamoto, who also
directed Sword of Doom, included a stone Buddha atop of the hill overlooking
the desolate town setting of the movie in reference to "Daibosatsu Toge" which
means "Great Buddha Pass" (the Japanese title for Sword of Doom). Okay that
wasn't the best example, but can you imagine henchmen screaming EXTRA loud
when they are butchered? Or how about a grimy farmer turning away a cute girl
he calls a "powdered monster!" Amidst the exaggerated dust storms, references
to the value of rice, mountain treks and the trouble 7 "children" or samurai
cause when planning a conspiracy is a trio of heroes: a farmer who yearns to be
a samurai, the last henchmen of an annihilated gang, and a vagabond (rather than
a dashing ronin) played by Tatsuya Nakadai. Yes, there are staring duels, flying
daggers, great fight scenes with wooden swords, but lastly a showdown that is
NOT in the middle of a ghost town or rolling field -- but in a tiny room.

This film is for the fans!!!
