I've been trying to find this Samurai movie for a many years with no luck. First though - it's not drunken samurai. drunk samurai or any variation of. It doesn't star any well known asian actors that I would know, and there is at least one white actor for sure. It's in colour, if I had to guess the date I would say 80s but I'm not too sure. I watched this movie in the very early 2000s on cable tv, on a tube tv my family had kept since the 90s. I can't remember if it's English or English subtitled, I saw this movie 20 years ago and watched it in a bit of a sleepy daze but I remember a few things about it that stand out. There's a white male actor that is playing a foreigner visiting some kind of samurai school and learning to use a sword. Somewhere towards the end of the movie this actor fights one of the masters and they end up with both backs to each other, locked in this position neither able to move since a move from either one would result in their death. There's another story line, one of them is an assassin who hates his job and so gets drunk all the time. I remember he would be drinking out of a pottery vase and had black hair. That's about all I can remember of that character. This movie had incredible choreographed fight scenes, actually some of the best I had ever seen up to that point and now up to this point. There's one scene where there's a fight with one of the masters, I don't recall who he's fighting but the weapon the master was using was some kind of bladed ball attached to a chain or rope. I believe the master had white hair/beard. There's other very well done weapon fight scenes in this movie but I don't remember the details, I do remember every fight scene was filmed and performed at a level that was really impressive. Props to he who can name this movie.

Sir that sounds like the 1980 Shogun miniseries movie thing that was in partnership with Toho, hence having good fights and a bunch of great Japanese actors, but they’re from generations ago.

Was there a contempo setting at all? The TV show Master Ninja took place in one if so. Young wHite dude who was not Michael Dudikoff from American Ninja because then it would be American Ninja and older dude with a mustache and a brief appearance by Demi MooreRoyaleWithCheese posted:I remember he would be drinking out of a pottery vase and had black hair.

He also did it in Highlander: Endgame twice, once to set up Chekov's Gun and once to fire it.

Some that spring to mind, Day of the Jackal (1973) - a suppressed .22 rifle pieced together from false crutches eXistenZ (1999) - a body horror tooth gun assembled from the carcass of a meal From Paris with Love (2010) - a handgun snuck past airport security in multiple energy drink cans In the Line of Fire (1993) - a two shot ceramic handgun snuck into and assembled at a presidential dinner e:f,b

And The Man Who Killed Hitler and Then The Bigfoot has him assembling the gun he kills Hitler with out of unassuming stuff in his pockets, I'm sure there's more examples, and it's always very good.

My Lovely Horse posted:Something like it in Hugh Laurie's novel The Gun Seller - not a movie obviously, but I recall mixups of that nature happening in these ID threads before. poo poo that was a good book. Hugh Laurie is one of those dudes who does like 15 different things better than I can do anything and it’s just demoralizing how he seems to act like that’s normal. “Doot doo doo, just being a great actor and comedian…. Guess I’ll direct some stuff too, write a cute little spy thriller, make some jazz albums, date Emma Thompson…” If I found out he’s fluent in Classical Arabic and just translated some new work of impressive scholarship, I’d just go along with that too. Bastard.

Edit: drat You!.  ^^^Disappointingly done in the otherwise good movie Constantine. It goes from a nice and sometimes inventive supernatural noir to a Matrix scene just because they cast Keanu. Phenomenal ending though. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m0_zESkLNws The American it's about constructing a gun in the vein of the previously mentioned Day if the Jackal and is really quite good. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0cviQy1XV3c There must be an infinite number of sniper rifle assembly and pistol deconstruction and reassembly scenes.

Just to be clear, I'm specifically only talking about scenes where the gun was disassembled in the first place for the purpose of deception. That part is very important.

Day of the Jackal mentions reminds me. Probably not what OP has in mind but you may recognize the ridonkulous remote controlled turret from The Jackal (1997)  thing is he doesn't assemble the weapon itself in secret, he stashes it in a van trunk. He does however, assemble the control system for it from his seat for the First Lady while dressed like a cop

Does on the train in the first Mission Impossible movie count? I think that hapens? Using the stereo? Might be misremembering though. Now with gun assembly, the best one is the one OJ uses in one of the naked gun movies

filmcynic posted:I had no idea that Lambert even had a signature move. Thanks! Well, technically it's not Lambert's signature move because as was mentioned (and I missed) he wasn't part of the scene in The Hunted. However, John Wardlow was stunt coordinator on both The Hunted and the Highlander TV series in which Lambert appeared in the pilot. It's not impossible that Lambert learned it from him, and they used it in Endgame because Lambert's already atrocious eyesight was getting worse and it was safest to use a routine he already knew. On a tangentially related note: if Lambert could be said to have a signature move it's the figure-eight twirl. But again that's not really his move. It was the signature flourish of legendary swordmaster Bob Anderson, a former Olympic fencer whose career spanned 50 years from coaching Errol Flynn on The Master of Ballantrae to training all the principal cast of Lord of the Rings (apart from Christopher Lee of course). He also performed Darth Vader's fight scenes in The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi.

Did TNG ever have them go back in history to something that hadn't happened in or before 20th century Earth history? The show takes place in, what, the 2200's? They're exploring the universe, and yet, time after time, there's a holodeck outing involving history that happened on earth, centuries before Jean Luc was born.

In the series they go back in time to 1800s San Francisco because Data's head was found there due to misadventure. In First Contact they have to go back to when Earth first developed warp technology to prevent the Borg from taking over. That's 21XX IIRC.

The First Contact plot I definitely appreciated because of that, thanks for reminding me. The first example is just more of what I was talking about, though. I mean, I get it; ST TNG is a show created and broadcast on Earth in the late 20th century.
