    Is there an English dub of Seven Samurai's ?

    I've seen the Japanese version (English subtitles) multiple times but one time i'd like to see it and be able to watch the movie and not worry about reading.

      I don't know of an English dubbed version. I've only ever seen it subtitled.

            Nothing more awesome and baddarze sounding than the Japanese language.

            I don't wanna see a realistic samurai flick being spoken in English or any other language except for Japanese.

              Why do they keep remaking classics!!?!!? This looks awful! It will bomb for sure! No way I would see this! This cast, as good as some of them are, are definitely NOT Yul Brynner, Steve McQueen, Charles Bronson, Eli Wallach, James Coburn, Robert Vaughn, etc.

              The remake of "Ghostbusters" has already been a major disappointment at the box office (no surprise). The remake of "Ben Hur" comes out in August. That will be another failure!

              I have read there will be a remake of "The Breakfast Club" as well -- that will be another bomb..............

                The Magnificent 7 is a remake itself...from Seven Samurai (like others mentioned) as well.

                My problem is not that it's a remake...my problem is that's a rainbow coalition gun for hire group set in the old west.

                Had it been set during modern times...then that cast would've worked fine, just not for the 1800s.

                  Charlton Heston's Ben Hur is a remake of Ben-Hur: A Tale of the Christ (1925 film).

                  As I said...have no problems with remakes (3:10 to Yuma was great)...as long as they are well made.

                            I'm going to quote you, not to pick at you, but because this is a chance to say that the "old west" was about as "rainbow coalition" as you could get until the prevailing "sensibilities" caught up to it.

                            In the larger scheme of "Magnificent Seven" being a rip off of a rip off and invoking Kurosawa, his "Yojimbo" has seen a retelling in all of the Clint Eastwood spaghetti westerns. However, all of those movies, including "Yojimbo" were an intellectual "rip off" of "Red Harvest" by Dashiell Hammett. Hell, that story plays in modern story telling all the way to "Last Man Standing" and "BLUE Harvest".

                              Yeah, but the difference is that Yojimbo is an awesome movie...

                                It needs a nerdy guy in a wheelchair. Who gets killed off in the first act.
                                No wait, I'm in a slasher movie...

                                Wasn't there a TV show recently with Michael Biehn? That sucked as well.

                                It's unlikely that given the social status Asians had during that periode, that we'd see them as gunslingers.
