Samurai Wars

http://www.sillof.com/C-samuraiwars.htm

Sillof's Workshop has created action figures based on the idea that in 1955  Akira Kurosawa attempted to film an epic movie about a small band fighting against a dark lord in feudal Japan.

It's really interesting how little the character designs have to be changed. I particularly love Obu Wankabe (Played by Toshiro Mifune of course)

I love that one too.

I've seen it, Rashomon, The Hidden Fortress, Red Beard, Derzu Uzala, Ran, and Madadayo. Shichinin no Samurai and Madadayo are my favorites. I really expected not to like Ran because I hate King Lear but he made some fundamental changes to the story that made me really like it.

Nice! How I miss Samurai Saturdays...*cries* I've seen Rashamon. I wish they would air them again, saw a lot of great movies & who cared if they were subbed.

That's good!
