What they share

Both films are directed by Senkichi Taniguchi, and they sit in Action / Comedy territory. If that's the register that drew you to What's Up, Tiger Lily?, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Samurai Pirate is

With a pirate sword and a samurai’s swagger this oddball quest is basically a samurai flick that forgot to take off its pirate hat. A scrappy deckhand sails toward a crumbling castle to outwit a premier who’s basically a human spreadsheet of greed. Unfortunately the film’s only real specialty is confusing everyone involved.
