Sonny Chiba! I'm totally on this Shinichi Chiba thing right now. I watched "The Executioner" today. It was so pleasantly awful! I loved it! I watched it dubbed, which made it especially awful, but I could tell that even subtitled, it would have been terrible. Better, but terrible.
I just loved it though. The insipid dialogue, and half thought out scenes. Not to mention the pointless ones. Terrible plot. It was all very amusing. Deus Ex Machina all over the place. Like, scenes wouldn't really end, they just moved on to the next. Or they would end over dramatically. Or just silly. Oh, and unnecessary nudie scenes.
Since Chiba was a ninja in this one, I wonder if I can generically call it a kung fu film...
I have every intention of buying it so I can watch it in Japanese. Because I'm a nerd. I was thoroughly amused, though. A guilty pleasure of mine. Like, I wanted to watch it again immediately after. Awful!
