There Will Be Blood for example, that's a film bro film, it's not awesome like The Last Samurai or Gladiator

I recently saw The Last Samurai. Although actually I was with people who wouldn't stop talking over it so I didn't really see 90% of it.

But I did enjoy the bits where Tom Cruise murdered people with a sword or was able to seduce the dead samurai's wife because in 19th century japan he's considered very tall

This is good, I might look this stuff up for other films


Sex & Nudity​

  • None 100 of 146 found this to have none
  • The main protagonist and a Japanese woman begin to have a romantic relationship throughout the film; on occasions, the man would stare into her eyes while she stared back into his, contemplating a 'deep' affectionate passion for one another. They kiss once as well.
  • A man has his shirt off in a couple of scenes.
  • A woman is seen partially nude in a hot spring, her bare shoulders and legs being visible. Nothing explicit is seen.
  • Other minor sexual references may be hinted through various lines of dialogue.

Violence & Gore​

  • Severe 57 of 95 found this severe
  • A masked man is shot in the face with a crossbow bolt. Blood is seen pouring for a second before he falls over.
  • A man in the background is violently beaten in the balls by the kick of a short tempered horse, this is off script
  • Realistic and bloody swordplay violence. During a suicide ritual, a man stabs himself in a stomach while another beheads him (The beheading is shown mostly offscreen).
  • A man battles three other men with swords (We see the scene once; it then replays in slow-motion); we see blood spraying as he cuts and stabs them. One of the injured men attempts to attack the other man; the latter wounds him again before beheading him. A man on a horse is shot multiple times by a Gatling gun; we see blood spurt from his body and some of his limbs are severed.
  • A wounded man commits suicide by stabbing himself. A man (Wielding swords) charges at a group of soldiers who shoot him to death (Blood sprays briefly as mist). A man kills various men with arrows. A man is prepped for a suicide ritual.
  • Two violent battle sequences are shown; both depict graphic scenes where men are impaled by spears and are decpaciated by swords. A group of men are killed by arrows; various soldiers are set aflame and burn to death. Many warriors are shot and killed; soldiers are stabbed violently (We see blood). A soldier attempts to block a sword blow with a rifle; the sword cuts through the rifle and slices the front of his face. A group of warriors on horses are slaughtered (We see limbs flying off their bodies and blood spraying) in slow-motion by machine gun fire. A character jumps in the way of a bullet to save another and is killed.
  • A man offers another a sword to commit suicide. A duel is shown between two men with wooden swords; one of them beats the other violently, repeatedly knocking him down (Blood is seen leaking from the latter). There are several scenes where warriors spar with wooden swords. A character is impaled with a spear and dies. A man battles other men off with a spear.
  • While on the ground, a warrior attempts to kill a man; the man stabs the warrior through the neck with a spear (We see blood leak from the latter's wound), killing him.
  • A man graphically describes "scalping" to another man; in an extended flashback sequences, soldiers are shown murdering innocent Native American men, women and children. A man describes rotting bodies.
  • All battle scenes are realistic and necessary to the Japanese culture of the fim. Sepaku, or suicide ritual, is an important part to the Samurai history, this is explained in the film.

I like the detail in Jay McInerney’s The Good Life in which one of his main characters is an investment banker who is obsessed with samurai movies and is taking a sabbatical to write a book about them. The typical pointless, trivial kind of quest that now defines Western masculinity.
See this is good stuff

That’s actually very useful, I agree

The Mummy is too family friendly really but it is widely reputed to be awesome
this was the tom cruise remake, not those other ones


was considered a box-office bomb for losing as much as $95 million due to high production and marketing costs. Intended to kick-start the Dark Universe, a modern cinematic universe concept based on the classic Universal Monsters film series, the film's poor box office performance led to the cancellation of the shared universe.[8]

Can you explain the dividing line between a FBF and an AMFB?

The lads are confused.

I was going to try and articulate the difference and decided I can't and also can't be bothered

Let's lock this thread

It was great when someone leaked the trailer for the Tom Cruise Mummy with a bunch of the music and sound effects missing.
