Episode 3.4: The Real Challenge Was Sitting Through This‪!‬ Paid in Green Peppers

    • Cinéma : les critiques

How bad is it if you can’t afford David Carradine? Pretty bad, apparently. The Challenge, starring Scott Glenn, a/k/a the Poor Man’s David Carradine, came out in 1982, just ahead of the Ninja craze. Maybe they should have waited a year and added a few masked assassins in black pajamas. A muddled tale involving the ownership of swords, it’s one of the last appearances of Toshirô Mifune. One can only assume he died of shame. Trigger warning: don’t watch this if you are sensitive to animal abuse.
