World Premier of Director's Cut
SDAFF Extreme, "the other side of the San Diego Asian Film Festival," brings you four films on the edge of sanity, including the North American premiere of the director’s cut of Takashi Okazaki’s masterpiece AFRO SAMURAI: RESURRECTION. A masterpiece of the bloodiest kind, Resurrection kicks off SDAFF Extreme with what may be one of the most popular anime in recent history.
Afro Samurai (Samuel L. Jackson) has finally found peace after avenging his father’s death and becoming the number one Samurai in the world. But his life of peace soon ends when a mysterious woman from his past returns. While Sio (Lucy Liu) is prepared to destroy Afro just as he destroyed so many to avenge for his father’s death, Afro struggles to understand why?
Led by the voice talents of Jackson and Liu, Mark Hamill (Star Wars), and The RZA, the story of Afro Samurai thrills with blood, sex, and the baddest man in a headband ever! As SDAFF Extreme's opening night film AFRO SAMURAI: RESURRECTION fits the bill as top-flight, action-packed entertainment which fuses Asian and African-American cultures like no other.
With musical production by the RZA, crisp direction from Fuminori Kizakil, the writing talents of creator Takashi Okazaki, and writer/producers Leo Chu and Eric Garcia, AFRO SAMURAI ranks as the ultimate in first class extreme cinema! - Phil Luque
