Which is It?

I just watched a Japanese Samurai film called KILL! (1968) directed by Kihachi Okamoto. I'm a little perplexed by it however. I'm not sure if it's a comedy set-up or just some kind of cliched (is that a word?) homage (??). It's kind of crazy with several storylines going on all at once. But it's not boring! Tatsuya Nakadai gives pretty cool performance but I got a headache and a sore throat now so I think I'll stop writing....

Thanks for reading anyway...
