Stonekeeper's Winter Game: I recommend THIS Mystery Movie #294 [FredBurroughs wins with The Dagger of Kamui (1985)]


So you guys like to play games? Here is an investigation game that can be time consuming but it's lots of fun. Basically, I have a movie in mind and you have to guess which one it is. For each movie you guys are going to guess, I will give a hint that CONNECTS your guess with the movie I have in mind.

Example of connections: Actor, length, genre, aspect ratio, language, country, year, director, writer in common, rating, number of votes, nominations. It can even be something like: both movies involve a love triangle.

- The winner can either start a new game or say "pass". In case of a pass, the OP gets to start another one.
- After 12 hints, the point goes to the OP and he/she gets to start another one.
- Movie must have at least 3500 votes. Otherwise, add a Bonus Hint.


Bonus hint: Under 3500 votes.
Hint 1: Rapeman 2 (1994) - Japan/Japanese.
Hint 2: Mr. Sardonicus (1961) - Based on previously written material.
Hint 3: Guyver: Out of Control (1986) - Action genre.
Hint 4: I Want to Eat Your Pancreas (2018) - Animated.
Hint 5: Space Adventure Cobra (1982) - Director was born in the 1940s.
Hint 6: Grey Digital Target (1986) - Released in the 1980s.
Hint 7: Arion (1986) - Runtime over 110 minutes.
Hint 8: Arabian Nights: The Adventures of Sinbad (1962) - Actor in common: Ichirō Nagai.

The champ wins again with The Dagger of Kamui (1985), a criminally underrated animated action film bursting with social commentary, about an Ainu boy whose journey to avenge the murder of his family takes him halfway across the world and stumbles into the middle of the political power struggles of Bakumatsu-era Japan, tackling questions of racism and injustice along the way.

I Want to Eat Your Pancreas, 2018

reply

If nothing else, Japan has given the world a wealth of wacky film titles.

reply

That title makes me shudder every time I see it, but the movie itself looks good and I've heard nothing but good things about it. I may get around to watching it sometime.
