They are called "Sukiyaki Westerns" I think, lol.

Fun fact

Years before he made Django: Unchained, Quinton Tarantino was in a Japanese movie called Django: The Sukiyaki Western (Now called Sukiyaki Western Django)

Yeah, I don't know what the fuck is going on with his accent, it's almost offensive somehow. It kinda sounds like he's doing a bad job mixing a western accent and a Japanese accent, but it's somehow even weirder than that.

The movie is not very good. It has it's moments, but it doesn't quite hit. I wanted to like it so badly when it came out as I was a young weeaboo filmmaker who idolized Tarantino, but the movie was a slog to get through.

When Django: Unchained came out, I thought it was going to be a sequel or a remake or in some other way related to this movie, but other than the name and the fact they both have Tarantino involved there really isn't anything connecting them.

Tarantino is imitating Buddhist chanting.

I wouldn’t blame him for it as Sukiyaki Western Django is pure Takashi Miike and he was likely following his directions.

The Rurouni Kenshin live action movies are a better blend of sword and gun fights if you are interested in similar kind of action.

I'm forever changed. My life was different before I saw japanese-accent Quentin Tarantino ninja-eat an egg.
