No real point, I'm just rewatching both series on dual monitors and seeing the parallels and differences is crazy.

The 2024 version restructures some plot points to happen at different times in the story, but overall both versions are amazing. There is also much more female samauri action in the modern city. I'm also listening to the audiobook in between viewings.

The 1980 version has WAY more long establishing shots when they're just riding horses thru the countryside while the score plays in the background or the narrator talks to fill in the scene because they don't use any subtitles. If anything else, it highlights just how differently TV worked back then.

If I taken anything from this rewatch and listen is that (and I say it again) this story has a satisfying beginning, middle, & ending and really doesn't need a season 2 but whatever

I need better files for the original.

I got these long ass 9 hour files.

Also they used real fire and explosions in the 80s version during the ninja attack.

I haven't been able to confirm it yet, but I'm pretty sure a few of those stunt people caught some real injuries while filming that sequence.

I miss the days before CGI when action director had to sacrifice a stunt person or two to get the shot. Now that's real film making
