Abraham Lincoln could have sent a fax to a samurai
And they could all coordinate by fax https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fax#History
Whoa.
always check the comments… that’s wild yo 🧙♀️
How is this not already a movie?
He could have done it all in Katz’s Deli, opened 1888. At that point, the house band could’ve been rocking out on Zildjian cymbals that were already 250+ years old.

Yeah, the mehter takımı would have gone hard. What is this, Yahşi batı?
Now you’re telling me that Dracula keeps Kosher??
Consuming blood is not kosher!
Well Katz’s doesn’t serve blood. Clearly he’s there for a delicious corned beef sandwich.
It’s actually why he sucks the blood out first like that.
… and we thought present day action films were over the top.
This is not how time works
Um…what?
Time doesn’t work like that.
You mean Dracula didn’t exist 😰?!
Not remotely what I meant, no.
Woosh…
Not a woosh. You just said a dumb thing that was irrelevant to what I said.
It should be “playing with Nintendo” instead of “playing Nintendo” toe be fair. To be honest, “playing with Nintendo cards” would be the most accurate, but “with Nintendo” is still accurate enough and still gives the sentence the desired effect. But no, “playing Nintendo” isn’t correct. Unless they made some specific game variant and included the rules with their cards or something.
Well, did they have their own proprietary game for their cards? Or were they just making poker cards?
That’s the question I’m asking!
He would be playing hanafuda, which is the Japanese card game that Nintendo was producing at that time. Not as funny as imagining Dracula trying to beat Ninja Gaiden or whatever.
Was that a general game or something they designed? If it’s something they made “playing Nintendo” works.
I’m really overanalyzing this joke, it’s funny either way, obviously.
They’re traditional Japanese playing cards. They existed for centuries before Nintendo.
Fun fact: Nintendo still makes these! (Although they might be hard to find, because I think they’re only sold in Japan.)
They probably said either the name of a specific game or “playing karuta”, which is a word derived from the Portuguese word for card (carta).
Guy who invited his friends over to play Nintendo, and when they arrive pulls out a deck of hanafuda cards.
Would make a good rpg party
I don’t drink … Coke.
Is Pepsi okay?
Yes, I can also not drink Pepsi.
i’d watch it
Every time I hear the Samurai, Cowboy and Pirates thing, I get upset that Pirates, Vikings and Knights didn’t get a second sequel or spinoff using Cowboys and Samurai instead of Vikings and Knights.
Çowboys V. Zombie Samurai sounds awesome
While the Old West goes back a few centuries, I’d say the “gunslingers era” isn’t until the first Colt revolver becomes available in the mid 1830s. It took a bit of digging to find pirates that would have definitely been around late enough into the 1800s that they’d be contemporary with gunslingers and samurai (class abolished in 1870), but old school river piracy lasted, even in just the US, into at least the late 1870s, so I guess that all checks out, as long as you weren’t expecting Blackbeard or anything.
Piracy pretty much always exists. As long as valuables are being transported by ship there will be people who want to capture those ships.
Pirates are still a thing, they just don’t look cool anymore.
TBF, I think movies made old pirates look a lot cooler than they really were.
Shocker: movies are inaccurate.
Amen. Ain’t nothin’ cool about scurvy.
If you look at old drawings and depictions, they do look like we know them, but they may have been embellished even then. But Hollywood didn’t invent the image.
And nothing much has changed since, just more, more jeans, more coke, more blood suckers
The samurai wouldn’t even have a range disadvantage, since they very eagerly adopted firearms
They also were primarily archers
