  1. so. anyone know any movies/shows that involve westerns and either sci-fi or samurai? needs to incorporate western somewhere. examples I have: cowboy bebop, firefly/serenity, the good the bad and the weird. also, if you think of something that reminds you of a western, let me know. aka, something like star wars, which my teacher and brother argue is either a western or a samurai movie xD *for a paper I'm writing*

    1. @jabrony Westerns aren't really my thing, but perhaps this would be of use? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_Western#Notable_examples

    2. @jabrony 6 String Samurai, I think. Haven't seen it myself, but I'm pretty sure it's westerny. Also, loads of Kurosawa mixes samurai & western. 7 Samurai, most specifically.

      1. @scribus well he didn't mix western and samurai. he made the samurai movies and the guys here made westerns based on them :3 his movies came far before ours. those will definitely be used though. they're amazing as far as showing the cultural similarities between our american west stories and the japanese folkloric tales.

        1. @jabrony Hmm. I'd always heard Kurosawa was inspired by westerns. Oh, well. Not a film student. lol
