Have you ever watched a samurai movie and thought it would be better if it had werewolves in it?

Or have you ever watched a werewolf movie and thought it would be better set in feudal Japan?

Then this is your lucky day!

Kibakichi and Kibakichi 2 are films from 2003 (the sequel was released three months after the first) that feature a protagonist who is both a samurai AND a werewolf!

The films are very loosely based on a manga of the same name.  They feature lone samurai Kibakichi, who is not strictly a werewolf, but a type of wolf yokai who can appear as a man.

In his travels Kibakichi encounters - and battles - other yokai, bandits, yakuza, and demons.  He also battles the only other survivor of his tribe, a female werewolf yokai, who manages to kick his @$$.

These are not great films by any stretch of the imagination.  Kibakichi’s werewolf costume is goofy looking.  Many of the yakuza look like they are extras from The Matrix, wearing black leather trench coats and armed with hand grenades and machine guns.  The fight scenes try to be stylish instead of good.  Kibakichi, in werewolf mode, jumps around far too much when he’s supposed to be fighting.

Nevertheless, there is a kernel of a good idea or two in these films.  And they have a sort of goofy charm to them, if you don’t go in expecting a chambara masterpiece.

And I’ve been told, on very good authority, that one’s enjoyment of these films increases exponentially with the consumption of alcohol.

Kibakichi (2004)

My rating: 6/10

The premise sounds great, and the make-up and effects are fun, but unfortunately 90% of the movie are just very dull, repetitive conversations - although given that I, of course, watched a translated version, the issue may well lie with the translation. The climactic battle is pretty good, though.

Are there any j horror werewolf movies ?

Barely any, but there are some, most of which are based on the same manga. So, there’s Wolf Guy, which just came out on Blu Ray recently http://amzn.to/2yxptHN. Before that there was Horror of the Wolf from 1973 which is based on the same manga and an anime adaptation, again called Wolf Guy from the 90s.

Another is the Kibakichi movies.

And kind of tenuously, there’s a late Waldemar Daninsky sequel (a long running Spanish Werewolf series with Paul Naschy) that took place in Japan called The Beast and the Magic Sword. It also has one of the last performances of Shigeru Amachi, a classic Japanese horror veteran who starred in most of Nobuo Nakagawa’s horror films. NSFW trailer.

This last one is probably the closest you’re going to get to a pretty legit Japanese Werewolf film, ironically because it’s Spanish. Japan has too many other vaguely lycanthropic mythological creatures (particularly in the Kitsune and Inugami) for Werewolves to ever properly take off.

The Seventh Python (2008)

The Seventh Python (2008)

Sean Connors Films, Ltd. Presents a Frozen Pictures production of The Seventh Python, a nonfiction musical feature film based on the life, work and unplanned career of musical satirist Neil Innes. The Seventh Python traces one man’s winding path of whimsy as he flirts with destiny at the edge of fame with incredibly influential and unusually lasting work that keeps one foot each planted in the worlds of comedy and rock ‘n’ roll. From the Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band to Monty Python's Flying Circus and The Rutles, to his Ego Warrior campaign and his insistence on wearing a plastic duck on his head, Neil Innes has proven to be the greatest musical comedy satirist of the past fifty years.
