Kill! - Japanese samurai flick from 1968 staring Tatsuya Nakadai (star of Ran, and the baddie in Yojimbo & Sanjuro). Based on the same book that Sanjuro was based on and very similar, though I feel Kill! is better done. Great humour, great characters, fun story. Nakadai doesn't dominate the film like Mifune does in Yojimbo/Sanjuro, but this is mainly because the supporting characters are much stronger in this film than in Kurosawa's two. 8.5/10
