Come, I will conceal nothing from you: the concept of SNOW WHITE AND THE SEVEN SAMURAI (keywords: ninja, assassins, samurai, guns, all-woman squad, spandex, cleavage) is a good one. But this is the wrong era for such a movie.
This is entirely the wrong era for such a movie. This was a movie born to be a Skinamax Special; alas, those days are gone, and will not return. The Golden Age of Softcore T&A passed almost without notice, and we are all the poorer for it. That very much includes movies like SNOW WHITE AND THE SEVEN SAMURAI, which labors under the cruel weight of its PG-13 rating. Which is apparently for action, not salaciousness, and oh but how that hurts my heart. Cages are cruel.

You have to wonder if the production cast knew. Did they sit there and go, You know what we need here? A shower scene. A nice, long, soapy shower scene. Because there was a fight! Exactly. They need to get cleaned off. Centered. Primed. …And everybody was willing somebody, anybody to say, So, hey, let’s set that shot up. Just for fun.
Only nobody ever did.
And this is where it turns out that I’m a child of the modern era. Because my reaction to your talk of a shower scene was, “No. What we need here is a hot springs scene instead!”. 🙂
But why not have BOTH a shower scene AND a hot springs scene? That way we could, you know, compare…them.
