About this product

Product Information

Eastern and Western cultures and philosophies intersect in this comic drama from acclaimed director Jim Jarmusch. Ghost Dog (Forest Whitaker) is a silent modern-day warrior who lives on a rooftop shack. He spends his days breeding pigeons and playing chess in the park with his best friend, Raymond (Isaach de Bankolé), a French-speaking ice-cream man. At night he goes to work as a hit man, performing his tasks stealthily and invisibly, abiding by the codes established by HAGAKURE: THE BOOK OF THE SAMURAI, an 18th-century text. One night, while on his latest hit, Ghost Dog encounters a mob boss's beautiful daughter, Louise (Tricia Vessey). Although Ghost Dog leaves her unharmed, her father nonetheless orders Ghost Dog's execution, to the dismay of Louie (John Tormey), his loyal retainer. As the mobsters struggle to locate the mysteriously untraceable Ghost Dog, he must find a way to protect himself while remaining loyal to Louie and the ancient codes that define him as an individual. Jarmusch successfully tackles a variety of genres with GHOST DOG, including mob movies and spiritual samurai films. Fusing all of this with the RZA's thumping, atmospheric score, GHOST DOG remains another lighthearted, entertaining addition to Jarmusch's impressive filmography.

One of the great movies
Why this movie is currently hard to find and/or stream is a mystery. It is beautiful portrait of people trying to live with purpose and dignity in a demented modern world. Funny, thoughtful, and compelling

A black ninja that loves pigeons and books, goes after the bad guys.
By far one of the dumbest movies I ever wasted my time on. Would have been better stoned watching it.

Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai...
I wondered what this film was about but soon into watching it, I saw that it was much more than I expected. Oscar winner Forest Whitaker stars as a hit man, who honors the way of the Samurai, the old ways and codes. He considers himself one of the last of the dying breeds and has great respect for the man who saved his live some year before. In fact, too much respect but that's the way of the Samurai and he lives and breathes it. He is intelligent, into rap music, and has some pretty nice skills when it comes to gun play. This is shown when the tables are turned and he has to go on the war path. Along the way, he meets 2 friends, kill some guys who senselessly kills a bear, and realize that death and life is something one needs to consider, as one goes through their daily life. I liked the ... I wondered what this film was about but soon into watching it, I saw that it was much more than I expected.

I liked the Samurai quotes and parables, the way he never got attached to anything material (and with his level of skills he could have had the very best, grow old and die but that was the way of the Samurai)and the fact he was such a unique character. It wasn't a bad film at all, just different and unexpecting.

Black, Japanese and Italian culture, mixed in one film.
Ghost Dog is such a strange kind of story, but it's a story that extremely well crafted. With a great soundtrack, awesome cinematography a top notch performance from Forrest Whitaker and a fine sense of humor. My favorite aspect of the film is the look into the main character's spiritual state. I hope you love this movie as much as I do.

Exquisite sound track and direction, the Samari bows
The soundtrack alone raises this film above all others of a similar subject matter and contributes to its elegance and grace. This is where a hit man movie marries a sound heavy with rap tracks and has an ancient Japanese honor system. Whitaker is quietly and subtlely superb.
