9. Spontaneous Dance Finale - Zatoichi
Zatoichi is a pretty good samurai movie from Japan, written, directed and starring super celebrity Beat Takeshi as a blind swordsman who goes about completing odd jobs and cutting people in half, long before that was done in another movie called The Book of Eli. For the most part, Zatoichi is tense and serious and tone stays consistent, though there are the occasional flashes of Japanese insanity, because I already told you this movie was Japanese. And then comes the ending, which is about as random and out of place as a cowboy using Facebook - Zatoichi decides that, instead of ending like a normal movie, it should go down the Bollywood route instead. That would have been fine had this not been a rather somber samurai flick for the sum of its runtime. But suddenly we have a dance trope named The Stripes doing their best "Stomp" impression, and you're squinting at the screen wondering what the point is - and are those all the guys Zatoichi killed dancing in the mix, too? Also it's five minutes long.
