The Last King of Scotland as Ghost Dog. A hip-hop listening, bird loving, samurai assassin who goes to war with the mob after a routine hit goes to shit. Words of samurai wisdom. Old school messaging. A French ice cream man. A pigeon massacre. A mob guy who knows his gangsta rap. Henry Silva's blank stare. Hunting bears out of season and paying the price. A wise hound. Getting shot in the exact same place twice. Watching one too many cartoons. Looking down the wrong sink. An epic final shootout. The RZA's Wu-Tang heavy score. Jim Jarmusch directs a modern day samurai classic.
You thought killing John Wicks's dog was a crazy move? Wait until you mess with Ghost Dog’s pigeons LMAO.
