Sort of like this one:

(He is wielding a katana but I couldnt find a good picture of both)

Ahh, is that the original Highlander movie?

God. What a disappointingly bad movie.

I remembered it being super cool from my childhood, but went back to rewatch it a couple years ago and ho-ly shit what a fucking bad movie. The friends that I watched it with all had basically the same take, too. We were all dumbfounded by how shockingly bad it was. I'll give it another shot, because I think it falls under dark-fantasy and I'm trying to prepare for a con later this summer, and maybe it was a bad version/cut, but... wow.

Maybe the series is/was better?

Had the same experience.
Felt like a better B-movie or low A-grade.

It was like disjointed and bizarre. Like it was leaning entirely on imagination to straight up fill in exposition and plot holes.

That is his second best outfit worn on screen, second only to Zardoz.

The regionalism is starting to take root in me, I feel this would be better as

Ya estas muerto, che

Unfortunately in the back of my mind, I know there's a more rioplatense way of saying dead, but I can't think of it

You caught my Google translate. Either way, I thought adding "amigo" makes it more obvious that it's Spanish for non-speakers.

[–] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

the translation is fine , and feels mexican. I'm just somewhere else.

Isn't there a meme out there about samurai, coca cola, the Mexican revolution, and something else all existing at the same time? The first Dracula novel maybe? I tried finding it and couldn't. But this made me think of that.

They could have briefly sent a fax to a Samurai, in theory. Technically not one in Japan since no cables, but a Japanese embassy in the UK (as in a group of people rather than a building) could have sent a commercial fax.

I have this one to add:

[–] edgemaster72@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

I think this is what I was thinking of but it doesn't actually involve Mexico, I guess I mixed that up with an unrelated bit of history from around the same time
