    Also the OG film that started the cliche of training the townspeople with pointy sticks and adding pointy stick to the towns perimeter in a remarkably short timespan.

    So they need 7 samurai and a bunch or pointy things.

      Did you know there’s a movie called The Fifth Musketeer? It stars the four classic musketeers, plus a guy who is at no point a musketeer.

    “We need at least twice that many.”


    They go out to confront the enemy

    Enemy: “Six samurai? We can take them.”

    a seventh samurai appears

    Enemy: “Shit, we didn’t prepare for this.”

    Preparing for the final battle, the least talented samurai comes up with a great trick. He makes a big pile of dirt in the middle of the town and puts all the captured swords in it. That way, if he loses his sword in the fight he’s got a spare close by.
