"Seven Samurai" is very worthy use of the free time everyone has these days.

He is so incredibly believable playing such crazy otherworldly characters. That must be the definition of great acting.

It seems like he was in just about every movie which had a lot of Japanese in it.

From “1941”....
Colonel Akiro Mitamura : [to Hollis Wood] Where Hollywood?
Hollis P. Wood : Right here.
Colonel Akiro Mitamura : What?
Hollis P. Wood : You’re looking at him.
Colonel Akiro Mitamura : Who?
Hollis P. Wood : Hollis Wood.
Colonel Akiro Mitamura : Where?
Hollis P. Wood : I’m right here! Shoot, can’t ya understand plain English?
Colonel Akiro Mitamura : Hollywood?
Hollis P. Wood : Huh?
Colonel Akiro Mitamura : Where?
Hollis P. Wood : Here!
[Mitamura opens up a map and shows it to Hollis]
Colonel Akiro Mitamura : Look. Where Hollywood? North? South?
Hollis P. Wood : Oh! You want me to tell you where Hollywood is! Well, shoot, that’s easy. Hollywood is...
[suddenly, he realizes the truth about this]
Hollis P. Wood : Oh, no, you don’t. You thought you was gonna get me to show you where Hollywood was, didn’t ya? Tried to sneak up on us, like ya did at Pearl Harbor! Bet you’re gonna bomb John Wayne’s house, ain’t ya?

Apparently, Mifune-sama turned down playing Obi-wan Kenobi and Darth Vader; probably good move. (Can’t imagine him saying “Konnichiwa” to R2D2.)
In Mach Go Go Go (the real name of “Speed Racer”, the entire “Racer” family was named Mifune, apparently in his honor (Speed = Gō Mifune, Pops = Daisuke Mifune, etc.)

May all post today strive to be as great as this one. I try to never miss one of his movies.
No one has mentioned “the Hidden Fortress”. Lucas got almost all his ideas for Star Wars from this movie, including scene end swipes.
