If you want more whipping Samurai movies, two excellent choices are Yojimbo and Harikiri.
Yojimbo is about a rogue Samurai who passes through a small village riven by the conflict between two gang families. He decides to play each off the other, in true anti hero fashion.
Harikiri is about an old Samurai, years after Japan started its path of modernization, which has left him without a master or income. He travels to a remaining feudal lord to finally die with honor by publicly committing suicide, except there are mysterious continual delays to the process. He insists on telling the Lord, once a rival to his own master, his tale as he waits to kill himself.

Is that the remake by Takashi Miike? The original I've seen is somewhat different from that. It takes place in the early Tokugawa era.

I was wondering how you were going to talk about the movie without spoiling anything and I'm very impressed.
First 1/3 of harakiri is actually the best movie ever then it becomes the next 2/3... love yojimbo. Kurosawa made bank off that one Clint Eastwood trilogy cus they just stole the entire movie

no I'm talking about the 1962 one. I guess I got the time period wrong?
