We chat with PawsOfFury co-director Rob Minkoff about the influences that inspired The Legend of Hank and how the comedic tone was achieved:
Paws of Fury: The Legend of Hank is a very different kind of samurai movie. Under the direction of Rob Minkoff, Mark Koetsier, and Chris Bailey, Paws of Fury follows efforts of a dog named Hank to become a samurai. However, Hank's biggest challenge is that he's charged with protecting a village full of cats.
I said, 'Gosh, I think there might be a better approach to take if it was done as a fable and it was a story about animals and about a dog specifically who becomes a samurai in a world of cats, and of course, they hate him because he's a dog'. So, I thought that kind of a story of prejudice would work very well in the form of a fable, because that kind of story becomes very universal.
Rob Minkoff: You know, that film was sort of a unique thing, and was kind of a mash-up of East and West, but this was really more in the form of a parody. So, we were really having fun with samurai movies and Westerns that I remember growing up as a kid, the spaghetti Westerns, the Sergio Leone, Clint Eastwood movies, which were always about a character who was a loner who came to a town that was in trouble and he would help save them.
Rob Minkoff: Well, again, the script had been written and Mel Brooks was involved in the project before I was, so when I came on-board, it was about how do you re-envision or take inspiration or do an homage but do something that's completely different, but yet tipping our hat to the source.
