Hopefully there are some fans here of the amazing 1999 Jim Jarmusch gangster/samurai movie Ghost Dog: Way of the Samurai, starring Forest Whitaker. If you haven't seen it, I highly recommend it.
Whitaker stars as the mysterious "Ghost Dog", a hitman in the employ of the Mafia who follows the ancient code of the samurai as outlined in the book "Hagakure." It's a quiet, weird, almost lonely-feeling movie with some good humor and some great action scenes, but the real draw to it is the atmosphere and Whitaker's fantastic performance. RZA's soundtrack is pretty haunting and gritty as well, proving that the guy should stick to scoring movies instead of starring in them. Here's my custom, and I'm pretty happy with how it came out. When I saw that Burnout head I knew it would be almost perfect...we could just say that, after somehow surviving the end of the movie, Ghost Dog went on a diet and started doing cardio, dropping a few pounds in his quest for revenge against his former boss. Anyway, this is my first really major parts swap...I've switched legs before, but this is the first time I've ever swapped forearms, and I was pretty psyched that I pulled it off. Here's the parts list: Head/hands: Burnout Torso/upper arms: Arctic Snake Eyes (v35) Lower Arms: Snake Eyes (v33) Legs: Snake Eyes (v32) Enjoy! Comments and feedback are welcome!

That's a good look. All he needs is a little copy of "Hagakure".

I have been intending to watch that movie for a second time for about ten years.
Awesome custom, man. It's nice to see that head being utilized. |
