Quotes:
Ringo: The sound of the Gion Shoja temple bells echoes the impermanence of all things; the color of the sala flowers reveals the truth that to florish is to fall. The proud do not endure, like a passing dream on a night in spring; the mighty fall at last, to be no more than dust before the wind. moreFAQ

This is among the weirdest, most tweaked movies I've ever seen.
While production values are high, it appears that the writers and director were as well. You keep asking yourself, WTF? Why did somebody feel this was necessary to do? And then you realize somebody actually got paid to write this.
The mixture of Samurai swords and six guns in the 1100's just doesn't compute. It's like the Spaghetti westerns when they were near the end of being done to death and the thought was that lots of improbable stunts and plenty of bloody fighting were enough, why be bound by logic?
Was this supposed to be a comedy?
If you had this as a vision while under the influence of LSD, you would most likely consider it a bad trip.
