Hi I'm new here. Long story short, cancer's given me lots of free time, re-edited Shogun Assassin 2 and 3 into one much shorter (better) film, removed 95% of the dialogue, re-recorded all dialogue with temp vocals, added sound effects, and re-scored the film to put it more in line with the original Shogun Assassin. I'm currently in the process of recruiting voice talent to re-record my temp vocals. I have two, for all intents and purposes, final cuts of the film: one with my temp vocals, and one without (mostly a big music video with sound effects). Anyone feels like looking for it, or helping with the voice-work, let me know! Thanks!

There were apparently SA "sequels" released back in the day but they don't seem to be as widely released or known as the first. I've often wondered if they were as awesome as the first film?
Will you be using the SA synth score for your edit? I loooooove that soundtrack, especially this track:

Thank you for your interest! Basically, there are 6 Japanese films called Lone Wolf and Cub. They took the first two movies and smashed them together and dubbed it and used the awesome score and it's one of the greatest samurai films ever made, certainly MY favorite.
They then simply just released the other 4 Lone Wolf and Cub movies in America with re-titling and basic dubbing, with the cuts and the original jazzy Lone Wolf and Cub score remained intact. I like them, but they are FRUSTRATING because they are not Shogun Assassin. They are bloated the score doesn't do it for me. I've always wanted to make the TRUE sequels, if that makes sense.
Yes, I originally intended on just using the awesome Shogun Assassin score. I used every single song, even re-used one I believe, but still needed more music. So I went out of bounds a little, but I think what I used is different but very appropriate spaghetti western influenced, 80's synth pop, and and some modern moody musicians.
I've spent literally the past 2 months editing and recording this thing, so I appreciate getting some kind of response!

Oh, I'm sorry, I misunderstood I guess! So I should have linked to this thread? I wasn't trying to post the link in a forum as per the rules, I just didn't understand how to submit the actual edit. I guess I still don't, but thanks!

I've reviewed this fanedit for The Academy and it's approved.
I've been dreaming of the possibilities of making a fan sequel to one of the original official fanedits 'Shogun Assassin' for a couple of years. The major problem was always having to redub the whole thing into English. It seemed to difficult to attempt.
Well @"WalrusSAS" has done it. The dub sounds so authentic and professional, in the style of a Grindhouse movie of the 1980s. Not only is the script near perfect (*) but the voice artists do an amazing job. The trademark Diagoro/child voice-over is reproduced so accurately. The music choices fit like a glove (some from the original score, some new), as does the decision to have one of the sword-fights play with no music and just howling wind. I really appreciated that time was taken to make new opening and closing credits in the style of the original film (I liked the little Kill Bill reference too).
This is one of the all-time fanedits!
There are a few cons though, if I was being super picky:
- The first Shogun Assassin was 90-minutes and this is 27-minutes longer than that. Further trims could have been made to some of the more random encounters that don't really contribute to the significant subplots, which would also have helped things feel less episodic.
- I assume the source for the video was a soft looking old DVD. The newer Criterion blu-ray transfer would have looked better (although it's not perfect either).
- (*) The "This little brat is freakin' me out" line was the only one that sounded off and unlike authentic period dubbed dialogue.

Thank you very much. My goal was to match the length of the original, but I just couldn't get there!
Yeah, I don't have the Criterion, I just have the now I think out of print Shogun Assassin Blu-Ray, which had the first one on disc one, and then 2-5 squeezed onto disc 2. Also, I like that line lol, but I completely get your point. Glad you liked it, I just want people to see it!
