SANJURO – streaming now on FilmStruck. www.filmstruck.com
Toshiro Mifune swaggers and snarls to brilliant comic effect in Akira Kurosawa’s tightly paced, beautifully composed Sanjuro. In this sly companion piece to Yojimbo, jaded samurai Sanjuro helps an idealistic group of young warriors weed out their clan’s evil influences, and in the process turns their image of a “proper” samurai on its ear. Less brazen in tone than its predecessor but equally entertaining, this classic character’s return is a masterpiece in its own right.
Akira Kurosawa, 1963
Cast: Toshiro Mifune, Yuzo Kayama, Keiju Kobayashi, Tatsuya Nakadai

Quentin Tarantino: You had my interest, now you have my attention.
As he was bleeding to death, he said: it’s only a scratch.
this is cooler than a western style standoff its so close and personal, which is all the more terrifying
About 90 bar I’d say
When keeping it real goes wrong.
He literally changed Japan into what it is now!!!
ラストを飾る派手な血飛沫があればこそ映画である
Man that had to hurt.
Wow! Speaking of "High Blood Pressure"
Based. The OG.
That dude was gonna die of high blood pressure anyway.
The lady was the quintessential cockblocker.
Epicka, ponadczasowa i najlepsza scena pojedynku samurajów w historii kina. Top of the top. Dla mnie numer 1 pojedynek wszech czasów.
Amazing movie…toshiro mifune awesome…
Love the atitude walk…
I need. Full. Movie. Please
Tatsuya Nakadai (Harakiri) and Toshiro Mifune (Yojimbo, Seven Samurai) – Two of the greatest Japanese actors to ever live, face off in a spectacular fashion
¿Quién más vino por qué su asesor de la prepa los envío? G-43 😸 Módulo 4
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
Sanjuro's last word "Abayo" implies "Good luck, cheeky cubs. We may well never meet again" rather than just "See you around".
If that katana didn't kill him, his high blood pressure would've
Reject modernity
down sake to a ronin death

Too much blood, too fake bro
見えない抜打ち❗
What
Tsubaki Sanjuro. The ultimate in classic Japanese cinema and inspired all your Clint Eastwood classics & Italian westerns.
and Tatsuya Nakadai deserves as much praise as Toshiro Mifune. Different styles & roles, but just as much. Dai Bosatsu Toge, Sword of Doom. But I assume everyone here has seen that as well 🤷♂️
Overkill on the blood me thinks 😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱
watch it at 0.25 speed, its really impressive.
椿三十郎、いや四十郎かな
I had the great luck to see DRUNKEN ANGEL years ago…and was a Mifune-phile from that day.
