Those were painted sets, Kurosawa used them.

Just to keep this clear, this is an unofficial prequel/remake of Django, the giallo version of A Fistful of Dollars, which was the Spaghetti Western Yojimbo, the Japanese ronin story inspired to some degree by the War of the Roses, as referenced by Shakespeare in the Henry VI play quoted in this movie. That, my friends, is what you call "pastiche." Also it's a lot of fun. --PolarisDiB

Big disappointment. I rented this with excitement, anticipating the visually stunning cinematography, surreal imagery, and compelling storyline. Unfortunately, the latter is exactly where SWD fails. Miike is too often willing to sacrifice story for shock value, and while there were elements of the film that warranted attention, in the end, I felt worn out. Tarantino is a crappy actor, by the way.

An awkward and self-conscious heap. Doesn't do anything right until the credits roll.

thier are parts in the movie like classic star trek you can see the sky is a set, etc. one of the worst movies i have seen in my opinion. decent idea,badly executed by takashi.

utterly horrid, including quinton tarantino's acting. I was shocked and saddened that this was a takashi miike movie who I am a new fan of (the audition a five star movie and Ichi the killer a good gangster flick). so utterly rediculous, it would have been cool slightly if they simply would have had oritiental subtitles. instead tarantino tries to sound oriental and ends up like speaking pig english horridly.

Now I know what it feels like to have someone pee on my eyes for an hour and a half.

Awesome film, but Quentin Tarantino was a worse actor in English than the Japanese cast who didn't know what they were saying.

Aside from the random Tarantino cameo I didn't think about this movie was great.

Ludicrous plot setup coupled with some horrendous engrish makes for one terrible film. In this case bad = good, it was probably the most fun I had watching a film in a long while. In comparison, I rank this higher then the more recent "Good, The Bad, & The Wierd".
