Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThis movie was first announced as a remake of Mel Brooks' Blazing Saddles, and was originally titled "Blazing Samurai". The writers of the original film recieved "screenplay by" credits, as the film lifts the plot and various jokes from Blazing Saddles and puts a more family-friendly spin on them.
- Crazy credits(opening credits) In association with a bunch of other guys too numerous to mention...
- Alternate versionsThe US theatrical and the UK Sky Cinema cuts differ in roughly five minutes. Most of this is allegedly attributed to the US version running at a lower frame rate, with the only real notable difference being the use of "Gangnam Style" in the UK version and a different song in the US. It's widely theorized that the change was due to being dated, as the peak of the "Gangnam Style" popularity was in the mid 2010s when "Blazing Samurai" was in production. Regardless, the song is still in the US end credits.

Featured review
Paws of Fury: The Legend of Hank (2022) was not great, but it was not awful. I do know that this movie is a child friendly remake of Blazing Saddles (1974) just with samurais, which Is weird.
The voice acting was good like Michael Cera and Samuel L. Jackson, and the animation was not that bad because it had some nice backgrounds with some nice visuals.
There are small funny scenes I laughed at, but most of the jokes are for kids to laugh at. There are some unexpected scenes that happen in the movie that I thought was funny at times.
The action scenes are fast moving and there are references to other movies that can be funny but unnecessary. The references will be funny mostly to parents who take their kids to see this movie.
There are mostly jokes that are not funny, the main villain is not in the movie that much, and the evil plan for the villain is stupid. I am not the target audience for this movie, but this is a quick movie for kids and adults to watch that will not hurt anyone.
