As far as I know, there were female samurai/warriors in Japan during and before the 16th century. It was at the beginning of the 17th when that changed.

That's sort of a good guess, but I didn't submit a list for either of the noir countdowns. Also, The Ninth Gate would have been higher on my list had I submitted one. I, too, like it a lot.

I didn't even know he's made a Tarzan film, but Anthropophagous is pretty solid 7/10. I don't agree with Albert Pyun being on this list, either.

I just watched this and it's easily the best film of 2023 I've seen this far. It was on my radar because of the director's earlier film, Terrified, which I liked quite a bit but this is better still....
