The very cool Brian over at Cool Ass Cinema recently ran the first of three contests - with the winner of each receiving a copy of Kenji Misumi's THE LAST SAMURAI on DVD!
The first contest - a brief trivia quiz - has ended - and guess who has two thumbs and won a copy of the movie?

| THIS GUY!!! |
My thanks to Brian and the folks over at Neptune Media for providing the DVDs for the contest! Watch for a review sometime!
Until next post, you Can Poke Me With A Fork, Cause I Am Outta Here!
Congratulations!! That is a stellar prize. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you! It really is an awesome prize - Brian calls it a "three hour Japanese Gone with the Wind - but with samurai battles." Sounds tasty to me!
DeleteCongratulations on your win, Craig, and thanks for being a great sport and answering the trivia question! I hope you enjoy this classic movie from one of Chambara cinema's finest directors. Hopefully, it will bring new appreciation for the man's work who only know him for SHOGUN ASSASSIN, ie the the abridged entry of the first two films in the six picture LONE WOLF & CUB series.
ReplyDeleteThanks again, Brian - I'm quite looking forward to the movie! I saw the Shogun Assassin version on VHS back in college - but thanks to Netflix I've been working my way through the actual movies - and while I have to give the folks who edited Shogun Assassin props for their editing skills, they really did make a feature length trailer for the movies in their whole form - with so much more to them than just the balletic bloodletting and acrobatic action. The Last Samurai is now climbing bodily up the To Watch pile...
DeleteYay, congrats Craig! Fun pic :D
ReplyDeleteCongrats Craig! Those two thumbs and nine fingers served you well!
