For those who don't speak Japanese, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gj3gwo01Pf4

Looks like it will be good. I'll definitely have to watch it.

A Japanese film based on an American Western; instead of Japanese films, on which American Westerns are based.

I like!

Did you ever see Sukiyaki Western Django?  It's like Fistful of Dollars meets The Quick And The Dead meets anime.

I guess I see what you did there. But kurosawa was a japanese guy who made japanese films, some of which were ripped off by Americans, so a reverse kurosawa would be like...an american who makes american films or something.

You're following his logic wrong. He's using Kurosawa as a verb. 

Doing a Kurosawa = American filmmakers copying Japanese films for the American market.

Doing a Reverse Kurosawa = Japanese filmmakers copying American films for the Japanese market.

Makes perfect sense that way. I did not know that it was based on an American film.

I would have said "reverse Sergio Leone," but that would leave out the Seven Samurai/Magnificent Seven.
