If you loved The Shogun Assassins, try The Kyoto Connection
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share

What The Kyoto Connection is
You board a plane in Seattle and step into Kyoto’s neon haze. An easy smile steers you to a walk-up where you wait on the floor, wrists cuffed to a pipe. The man keeps flipping pages of a dog-eared manual between bouts of silence. Outside, a festival drum pulses like a heartbeat you can’t join.
