For the #MondayActionMovie watch party on Mastodon tonight, it’s the Cannon Pictures martial arts flick American Samurai (1992, director’s cut 2025), with David Bradley (from American Ninja … I’m sensing a theme here), and “introducing Martial Arts Sensation Mark Dacascos”! Woohoo!
Join us as we watch the movie (on Youtube or other sources) and comment live on Mastodon, with the hashtag #MondayActionMovie.
Summary
When a father passes on the traditional family sword to one of his two adopted sons, the other–in a fit of jealous rage–joins a yakuza drug smuggling mob. When the other son decides to find him and set things straight, things don’t seem to go as smoothly as he planned, and a misunderstanding leads the stepbrothers into a Turkish arena to battle swordsmen from around the world.

just finished watching it bc I had to leave early… it was only like 15 minutes but it was terrible bc I wanted to say something snarky a couple times but I had no-one to snark to!

So much snark potential! Especially as the director went on about the studio ruining his vision and that this cut was the real thing!
