Seven Samurai
(media.piefed.world)
Three samurai?
Let this be the hour when we draw (curved) swords together.
the books are called Three Musketeers... it is about four musketeers :(
Did you know there's a movie called The Fifth Musketeer? It stars the four classic musketeers, plus a guy who is at no point a musketeer.
Never heard of it,
Schools should invest more in maths, those people can barely count
The French have four-times-twenty-ten-nine problems, but counting ain't one. That's why their most read maths book is "The count of Monte Cristo".
Au contraire! There is only a single isle of Monte Cristo in that book, and it's over a thousand pages long, which means it took THAT LONG to count to 1.
Gotta wait 30 years to get that revenge for no reason at the end
I've read the book when I was a kid, but if I remember correctly d'Artagnan was not a musketeer, he was having adventures with three guys who were musketeers and the book is from his perspective, so the title makes sense.
Same here, it's really six samurai, the 7th is...complicated.
“We need at least twice that many.”
They go out to confront the enemy
Enemy: “Six samurai? We can take them.”
a seventh samurai appears
Enemy: “Shit, we didn’t prepare for this.”
Turns out they needed six. One of them wasn't actually a samurai.
The original title was Six Samurai, The Son Of A Farmer, And About 150 Of The Most Pathetic Human Beings Ever Conceived
Wasn't he? In the end wasn't he a Samurai after all?
The real Samurai were the friends we made along the way
Also the OG film that started the cliche of training the townspeople with pointy sticks and adding pointy stick to the towns perimeter in a remarkably short timespan.
So they need 7 samurai and a bunch or pointy things.
[off topic]
Preparing for the final battle, the least talented samurai comes up with a great trick. He makes a big pile of dirt in the middle of the town and puts all the captured swords in it. That way, if he loses his sword in the fight he's got a spare close by.
How can you find a sword mid-battle in the dirt? Black and white dirt nonetheless!
One of the most famous movies ever made.
I'm sure you can find a copy somewhere.
Looks around, what are we? some kind of seven samurai?
