Blood of the Samurai

Two friends are overcome with the spirit of the samurai warrior after unearthing a pair of mythical swords in this over-the-top action effort directed by freshman filmmaker Aaron Yamasato and featuring special makeup effects by Screaming Mad George. Trent (Bryan Yamasaki) and Rob (Michael Ng) are two average guys -- until they stumble onto two mythical swords with the power to instill their owners with supernatural abilities. Inexplicably instilled with the ability to wield a kitana with deadly precision and write in Japanese, the deadly duo do their best to protect their girlfriends from a crossbow-wielding assassin known as The Hunter (Shawn Forsythe) and unveil the mystery behind their sudden transformation.
