Welcome back to Bad Dads Film Review!

This episode is packed with legendary warriors, epic battles, and high-stakes drama as we explore the art of precision, the horrors of war, and the supernatural forces of feudal Japan. We begin by taking aim at the Top 5 Archers in Film & TV, followed by an in-depth look at the South Korean war epic Uprising (2024), and finish with a deep dive into Netflix’s much-anticipated anime adaptation of Onimusha.

🔥 Who Could Make the List?

Legolas (The Lord of the Rings) – The Elven prince who turns archery into an art form.
Hawkeye (Marvel Cinematic Universe) – The unpowered Avenger whose skills match even gods and super soldiers.
Robin Hood (Various Films & TV) – The definitive outlaw archer, inspiring generations.
Katniss Everdeen (The Hunger Games) – The reluctant hero whose bow sparks a revolution.
Green Arrow (DC Comics) – A vigilante known for his trick shots and unrelenting precision.

South Korea continues to deliver cinematic masterpieces, and Uprising (2024) is no exception. Directed by Kim Sang-man and co-written by Park Chan-wook, this historical war epic blends large-scale battle sequences with an emotional story of friendship and rivalry.

Set during the Japanese invasions of Korea, this film follows two childhood friends who find themselves on opposing sides of history.

At the heart of the story is Cheon Yeong (Gang Dong-won), a former slave who rises to prominence due to his extraordinary swordsmanship. Once the loyal servant of Jong-ryeo (Park Jeong-min), fate forces them into opposite allegiances—one as a military officer, the other as a rebel soldier. As war rages, their deep bond fractures, leading to a heart-breaking confrontation.

The Onimusha franchise finally gets an anime adaptation! Based on Capcom’s legendary video game series, this Netflix anime brings the demon-infested world of samurai warriors to life with stunning animation and intense battles.

With its blend of horror, history, and swordplay, Onimusha has huge potential. Can it live up to the beloved video game series? We break down our expectations, hopes, and concerns!

This episode dives into legendary warriors, unforgettable battles, and high-stakes drama—whether it’s through bows, swords, or supernatural forces.

Tune in and let us know: Which archer reigns supreme? Did Uprising live up to the hype? Will Onimusha capture the magic of the games? 🎯⚔️🔥
