Orochi (1925) DvDrip.Avi (subtitles)

Orochi (1925) DvDrip.Avi This is one of the few silent era Chambara films to survive in relatively good condition and complete form. The final extended fight scene is wonderful. Chambara (from the sound of swords striking one another during a fight) is the Japanese name for samurai warrior pictures. Orochi (“Serpent”) is the story of a samurai who falls on hard times due to misunderstandings and and follows the plots of his enemies. This film is representative of the work of Japanese actor Tsumasaburo Bando, a superstar and icon of the early days of Japanese cinema. In this one Tsumasaburo Bando plays a young but hotheaded samurai who falls in love with two women but cannot convince either that he is a good man. He becomes a killer trying to save one of them from a criminal who had rescued him after some time in jail. *This print comes with a 'benshi' (film explainer) performance in which a single male and a single female narrator do the voices of all the characters and explain the action. The Chambara genre has spawned such Japancese films as the masterpiece “Shichinin No Samurai” (“Seven Samurai”) made by Akira Kurosawa in 1954, on which the great Hollywood movie “The Magnificent Seven” (1960) was based. In more recent times it has become the basis of a series of action computer/video games, “Warriors Orochi”.

Note that this torrent will play with Spanish subtitles for the benshi narration (which subs are included as .srt file along with the .avi file). But the original DvD (and this rip) also have a folder for English subtitles in an .rar that has .idx and .sub files. I cannot get those English subs to work and cannot locate an English .srt file for this movie. So if someone can find or make an English .srt subtitle file for the benshi narration of this film it will be appreciated.

Yup, I guess it's time for me to change to utorrent for making my uploads (since I am probably the last person doing them with my old friend bitcomet) - I'll do it today!

Would these be the right subs: ?

Thank you so very much nikko1. Domo arrigato goziamas! Those are exactly the correct English subtitles and I will remake this torrent and reload it with those English subs tonight. This is a truly nice movie and the Benshi narration adds great feeling and depth to the viewing experience - the English subtitles will make it a real treat to watch (again) for those of us who do not speak japanese.

for the record, the files included in this torrent: wrd-orochi.sub and wrd-orochi.idx HAVE english subs. they just need to be renamed with the exact same name as the avi file (except for the suffixes of course). and they work just fine.
