Drive-In Movie: Shogun Assassin at Showboat Drive-In

Details

This legendary midnight movie sensation is a giddily entertaining, mesmerizingly gory classic of East-meets-West grindhouse mayhem. This work is based on a manga series created by Kazuo Koike and Goseki Kojima, and it firmly embedded samurai mythology within American pop culture. This influence is visible in the dialogue and music excerpts from Shogun Assassin sampled in the GZA album "Liquid Swords" and in the famous scene from Kill Bill: Volume 2 when Beatrix Kiddo and her daughter watch this film together as a bedtime story. The film is also the basis for the Star Wars series The Mandalorian. Buy tickets at www.showboathouston.com.
