The entire movie was based on the prediction that her husband would rule the world. I've heard of psychics making blunders, but ruling the world and being broiled alive are opposite ends of the spectrum. Gotta love this film. Samurai tend to freak out during thunderstorms, just like the family dog. Ninja often take second jobs as hedge trimmers.
Tears are an aphrodisiac.
In Japan seduction is indistinguishable from being slapped around and raped. Ninja are related to bloodhounds. Monks sometimes turn into cross-dressing pyromaniacs. Ferns are yummy. Being stabbed in the brain stem with a religious artifact will make you see God.
