    NOOOOOOOOO, you need a bigger budget than that for these films.

    Gun grave would require dramatic SFX, unless they make an animated movie
    &
    Lone Wolf & Cub, technically cant be made better than the japanese versions.

    These would need big budget on a scale of at least 80 - 100 mill
