Ok, I must say this, it must be a great movie in Japan, but it's total crap in terms of dubbing, the dubbing is so horrible that it hurts the movie. And the worst part is that you can't have the original laguage, or subtitles. Even though it's called Legend of 8 Samurai, they are repeatedly called Ninjas, showing that Americans in the flming industry can't tell the difference between Samurai and Ninjas. The only samurai left at the end is Sonny Chiba's character (I'm not sure if he even has a name, since the majority of the time they just call him "idiot" or "traitor") who ends up with the princess.
God, I couldn't figure out the storyline, because the dubbing messed it up so badly. I think it's about a princess who is of a destroyed clan, her family was killed by a bunch of immortal people, and she is to find 8 samurai with the magic orbs to defeat them. Eventually they find that one of them is a samurai for the immortal family, and I'm not even sure how they got him to join. Final battle, and all but one samurai is killed, and the princess is saved, the princess and the samurai run off to live happily ever after.
