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
... to the point of stupidity. Really.
No, it is not a "ripoff of kung fu panda." China and Japan are actually different places with different cultures.
This was also not someone "ripping off" Mel Brooks. He directed it! He's in it! And the role he plays is the same one he plays in Blazing Saddles.
Because it IS Blazing Saddles. The writers of the original are even credited. Given how many American Westerns were redone Samurai movies, it's a pretty established pattern.
It's definitely got some tongue-in-cheek references. It has some jokes that (as Mel Brooks movies do) push the line. But it tells a good story and has solid voice acting, so I'm not sure where some of the complaints are coming from.
