Since Belushi was using a real sword you can see Dan Aykroyd trying to stay out of the way that’s a very dangerous sketch
back when comedy was allowed to be funny.
Belushi scratching his neck is a subtle reference to Toshiro Mifune in Yojimbo. I love it.
If you watch some of the famous Samurai movies from Japan you will realize how brilliant Belushi's acting was. He not only captured the physical behaviors (like they way he handled the sword) but his "fake" Japanese perfectly captured the way the samurai spoke in these movies: a harsh low-pitched sound made by forcing air up from the diaphragm. He SOUNDED like a Samurai. And yes, the constant scratching is a Toshiro Mifune trademark. Samurai were upper class and were always very clean, except when they became "Ronin," masterless Samurai who, after being defeated in a war, lived in poverty and filth. That was the type of Samurai that Mifune loved to play. Belushi was a genius who lived too short a life. Drugs took him.
I'm from Japan, and his Japanese is perfect.
I love that this very scene was playing in the bar in Lost in Translation. Bill Murray watching his young self in a sketch about a samurai....in Japan.
If you are going to compare this to today's SNL,today's SNL is a drama,not a comedy.
was this the best SNL cast ever?
don cornelius - host of Soul Train; don krishner - music producer and host of late night music tv show.
That sword made an awfully clean cut through the vegetables for a prop... between that, the knives and the live grill, this skit looks pretty damn dangerous!
Don Kirschner, had his Rock Concert show, and Don Cornelius had Soul Train. It was brilliant that they made them off to be Mafioso Family leaders.
I never missed an episode of SNL then. It was classic. My friends and I would drink beers and watch when we were in high school. 😂
You know Belushi must have watched plenty of Kurosawa/ Toshiro Mifune samurai epics lol
This is back in the days when I enjoyed the entire show from start to finish
This was back when Saturday Night was so funny I was glad to stay up for it!! My favorite John Belushi will always be him as a "Killer Bee" 😍
I miss the 70's. Great time to be a kid.
The skit is amazing- Belushi steals the show as usual with a mix of understatement and inanity... But the writing was superb. I remember watching it when it aired- the "Don Cornelius and Don Kirschner" line was so well set up you knew it was going to be an instant classic.
When Belushi breaks the chopsticks with emphasis...classic.
Belushi absolutely nails it ! Thanks, great master !
It was so good back then. I would never miss it. Now, I don't even think about it.
