@chezypuuf, I was kinda disappointed because I thought it was gonna be like Asian Western set in the Old West with the gold rush period Chinese or something lol. I was like oh man that would be so awesome for an Asian Western and the intro started to look that way. It's not bad that it's something else set in Japan but I just thought maybe a story set in America in the Old West about the Chinese would be more exciting because there were actually Chinese back then in California? Maybe one day...

@deltafreelancer OMFG... If the action sequences, and cinematography were any differant it wouldn't be a good movie. It would be another carbon copy of every other film mass produced today. The film was rough because the entire point of it's exsistence was to pay omage to old kung-fu films, and speghetti westerns. Hence the title "Sukiyaki". I don't think they can make it any more obvious that it's not gunna be a typical Michael Bay clone.

If the action sequences and cinematography were better, this movie would not go into the bargain bin.
