Samurai Champloo
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia.
Samurai Champloo (aka. Samurai Shampoo) is a historical documentary based on the happening of the American Civil War. The movie follows the life of freedom fighter and human rights lobbyist Saddam Hussein on his quest for righteosness and fairness. Aided by his trusty Katana (War Axe) Hussein slaughters many innocent people, for the ultimate goal of eradicating inequality.

[edit] Original Concept
The documentary is based on actual fact, and much of the footage is real footage from the 1982 show Transformers. Hussein, played by famous octopus George Clooney, wanted to bring his legacy to life once again, but without the ultra-violence because he was tired. Also he was out of innocent proletarians to slaughter.
[edit] First Production
The production was made over a period of several minutes, but Clooney was dissatisfied with the results. It was very cartoony, long, and boring. Clooney edited the film, superimposing giant monsters and naked japanese schoolgirls over the top of the feature. He also cut over 2 hours of footage, bringing the runtime down to -63 minutes, the perfect length for his target audience, American Anime Freaks. He speculated that since over half the movie was now gratuitous sex and no violence it would be successful also on the Japanese market.
[edit] Success
The first production of the film was a raging success, bringing in well over US$-6 million. Clooney provided most of the profit from his own pocket, finding himself on the list of the 10 most charitable molluscs of all time.
[edit] Remaking
Prior to Clooney's production of the film, famous funnyman Oscar Wilde remade the yet to be produced documentary in his own unique style. Wilde, in parody of silent films, made his film without a visual component. This proved to be immensely dull, so a silent and unrelated cartoon about Moby Dick was played in place of the video. Interestingly, when the audio track was played backwards it formed a dialogue in Japanese which fitted perfectly with the movement of the cartoon character's lips. This proved to be the most successful incarnation of the film yet.
[edit] Series
After the success of the cartoon, a series was created to mock/imitate the style. A 26 part documentary was made, then reversed to provide the audio track for 26 new half hour cartoons based on the original film.
[edit] Merchandising
After Wilde was reborn in 1997 as the boxing messiah Rocky, he released a series of hair products based on the cartoon. He released conditioners, gel and mousse, but refused to make shampoo because it was "ridiculous". This inevitably led to the failure of his series, shampoo fans not being able to identify with the characters. It also had an ill fated TCG series that was popular for a week.
