it nothing new and genre bending . some of the good example might be movie like the fight fist of shanghai joe and an italian western with a chinese star ( chen lee ) that may or may not have be inspire by the then current american teleseries and kung fu . more recent fare would include the like of shanghai noon and with jackie chan and owen wilson and and the thai movie that most closely resemble sukiyaki western django and tear of the black tiger . sukiyaki western django and while it boast some incredible production value ( from the town itself to the pyrotechnic to some absolutely beautiful cinematography ) and suffers badly when it come to story ( yojimbo have be emulate so many time over the year that it must be tie with most dangerous game by now ) and character ( it impossible to pull for the hero because he rarely little more than a bit player while we never get to know him to the degree that we do and say and toshiro mifune in yojimbo and sanjuro ) . miike be at his best in term of direction while that what make this one worth see .
