Must admit that I do agree with that sentiment, Phil. Itās been years since I last watched it, and I donāt recall being particularly impressed with it. I need to dig it out and watch it again soonā¦
Itās not the finest moment for Milian, Gemma, Wallach, or director, Sergio Corbucciā¦ 
My original gripe was more against Political Correctness, than anything elseā¦
I watched this yesterday with low expectations and because of that I enjoyed it a lot more than I thought I would. Obviously itās a below average film with a silly story and some ridiculous moments, but I went along with it 4/10. Would be interesting to know how much Gemma, Milian and Wallach got paid for this film 
Regardless of how much ābad pressā this film gets here at SWDB, it will be interesting to see how many buy, nay, pre-order the inevitable Blu Ray release ???
Only if it comes with a poster, postcards and bonus soundtrack 
Thai poster, which i thank to Instagram user @thai_poster_bliss for the poster

Just caught the EMS DVD which I assume is uncut. Itās an Italian print and runs 105m50s PAL. You Tube has an English print titled Samurai which runs 103m54s and is missing the entire pre-credits scene. Not finished it let as very difficult to sit through due to Milianās ludicrous ham mugging - I donāt like his Providence character either and I notice Chris Huerta was dressed up like Charlie Chaplin in one I assume was a dig at this - and incomprehensible dialogue.
Thanks to those that pointed out the different dialogue between English and Italian versions in the pre-credits scene. I will check later.
Milian, believe it or not, played a similar character in a 1981 film for Bruno Corbucci (Mario Amendola wrote the script for that also) in which Milian played dual roles.
