    YES! Gunan is a perfect film for riffing. I'm not sure how it was missed in the first run of the show. After Zukan is killed, attacked from behind and beheaded, his brother jogs up and sees the carnage: Zukan's head on a pike and the talisman he wore gone, vows to get even with the warlord. Shortly afterward, we have the warlord's henchmen milling about the murder site with this dialog:

    Henchman 1: "I want to have a look."
    Henchman 2: "Forget it, this one's dead for sure."
    Henchman 1: "You never can be sure with these pigs. Besides, I need to move a little bit."
    Henchman 2: "Alright... I'll stay here."

    I mean, after murdering a group of people, who doesn't need to move around? The worst. The pacing is terrible. Frames just start up out of nowhere with no context and all of a sudden blood is spurting all over the screen. It's an Italian Roger Corman meets Sam Peckinpah with a script written by Australian voiceover actors.
