I'm a fan of movies with a person or people fighting up ranks to fight one big boss, like in Scott Pilgrim or the game No More Heroes. I was wondering if anyone had any recs for movies like this one.

o wow u made this in sept 24,2011. Im glad there are people like myself who watched this recently. I thought it was a fantastic movie. A movie with what you look for came to mind immediately, try "Game of Death"; stars Bruce Lee

Yeah this movie was great, but the whole time I watched it I felt odd that the visual style was so original and cool, but the plot was about as used as chewed gum under a table. i still am happy i bought it, and I would recommend it for anyone - it was just that it was a surprise the focus was obviously on the visual (which SUCCEEDED big time!), more than the plot. i was just thinking Scott Pilgrim, No More Heroes, and especially AFRO SAMURAI...

I mean Ron Pearlman is the bad guys voice in Afro Samurai, and he is on top of a mountain that Afro has to fight his way to the top of just like in Bunraku, Afro does it for revenge of his father just like the cowboy, and has to beat the numbered killers who can only fight each other to move up in rank (again not original in itself, lots of movies and games use this idea). i am very interested in reading where this movie came from, (i was thinking graphic novel at first but it does not seem so?) if anyone has a good link to the creators thoughts or a blog or what have you? But over all a great movie!!

It's a little different, but there's a crazy western midnight movie called El Topo where a gunslinger goes through the desert killing the masters.
