If you loved Samurai Hustle, try Samurai Hustle Returns

What Samurai Hustle Returns is
Someone greenlit a sequel, it seems. Masaatsu Naito finishes his pilgrimage to the Shogun, only to learn his fiefdom is now in revolt. He rushes home to find his castle razed. At least it's a gainful use of studio backlots.
