You have probabably heard about Spaghetti Western made by Italian production companies in the 1960's. But do you know about Noodle Western? The Western genre had its influence in Asia. And local Asian western movies have been made since a long.
Japanese film director Takashi Miike brings the genre back to life with his latest movie Sukiyaki Western: Django. The English language Western is inspired by Sergio Corbucci's "Spaghetti Western" Django, as well as the legions of copycats and ripoffs.

This blend of western and samurai traditions is awesome! Director Takashi Miike has done an incredible work. Even more incredible when you think that he does not speak English but decided anyway that the Japanese cast would have to speak English in order to celebrate the origins of the movie genre.
Well, if you are not fan of western movies pass your way. But if you enjoy them then you'll be happy with Sukiyaki Western Django. :)
