Plot[]
Two Japanese-American teenagers named Greg and Tyler attempt to engage in a katana battle after watching a samurai movie and playing samurai video games. What Greg and Tyler did not know was that the swords they were using were real and especially not for child's play. When they took their fight outside, Greg attempted to land a deadly hit on his friend, Tyler, but his katana hits a low-hanging power line and electrocutes him to his death and sending him to heaven so he can play samurai video games, watch samurai movies and pretend to be a samurai for eternity.
Transcript[]
Narrator: Into the backyard went the wannabe samurai. They were way in over their heads, but neither was willing to back down. Greg was ready to deliver the death blow...but was cut short by high voltage powerline. 240 volts of heart-stopping juice finally put an end to the madness.
Narrator: Greg and Tyler thought they could be a samurai. They should've kept a tight grip on their game controllers.. and stayed away from the swords.
