Sanjuro

You cut well, but the best sword stays in its sheath!

Toshiro Mifune swaggers and snarls to brilliant comic effect in Kurosawa's tightly paced, beautifully composed "Sanjuro." In this companion piece and sequel 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.

“There's an incredible scene which is this duel between the two lead actors, a combat that takes place on a hill in moonlight with just the grass that's flying and it's just an incredible scene.”
