History Film / SukiyakiWesternDjango

''Sukiyaki Western Django'' is a SpaghettiWestern by Creator/TakashiMiike starring almost entirely Japanese people, with almost exclusively English dialogue. There are two exceptions to both: one of each of them is Creator/QuentinTarantino, who opens the film in a flashback where he tells the age-old tale about a war, [[EternalRecurrence a recurrence of which he takes part in much later in his life]]. He then throws an egg in the air, shoots 3 people whose blood splatters the backdrop, and then extends one hand to catch the egg to an accompanying slide whistle. It's that kind of movie.

* KillEmAll: Nearly every character to have appeared on screen is dead by the last scene.

* AnachronismStew

* BarehandedBladeBlock: Played straight, then subverted for laughs.

* EternalRecurrence: The Genpei War, apparently.

* FeudingFamilies: Minamoto and Taira.

* InstantDeathBullet: If you're not a main character. See ArbitraryGunPower.

* KnightErrant
* LadyOfWar: Bloody Benten.

* NothingUpMySleeve: [[spoiler:The final gunshot.]]

* PurelyAestheticEra: More than one with AnachronismStew.
* [[RedOniBlueOni Red Oni White Oni]]
* SerialEscalation: How much can we eschew substance in favor of style?
* SnowMeansDeath

* ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill
* TheSheriff:
** PluckyComicRelief
** TheQuisling
** ButtMonkey
** ToonPhysics

* TogetherInDeath: [[spoiler: Ruriko and Toshiro]]

* WorthyOpponent: Yoichi claims to be searching for this his entire life and thinks he finds it in the protagonist.

* FauxFluency: Filmed with English dialogue by Japanese actors, most of whom don't speak English all that well, or ''at all''. This can lend to its NarmCharm, with many viewers finding it SoBadItsGood.

* DoNotCallMePaul: the leader of the Reds insists on being called Henry, instead of his birth name of Kiyomori, after HenryVI, because "in Shakespeare's story, the Reds win".

* FeudingFamilies: [[GempeiWar Minamoto and Taira]].

** QuentinTarantino both has a line in Japanese and a line in English with a sudden dramatic Japanese accent.

--> '''Quentin Tarantino/Ringo''':"Manga/{{Akira}}! Oh, how that lonesome sound brings me back. At the end, I am an [[spoiler:anime otaku]] at heart."

* ThemeMusicWithholding: a cover of Franco Migliacci's Django theme appears in the final scene.

The film takes its plot from the SpaghettiWestern film genre - Film/{{Django}}, among others, hence the name, although significant plot elements come from Film/{{Yojimbo}} and its de facto remake Film/AFistfulOfDollars: [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sukiyaki sukiyaki]] is a hot pot or "steamboat" dish often used as a generic label of "Japaneseness".
