Ok sure, but can Mifune wear Rayban sunglasses like Cruise? Can he hang from the ceiling like Cruise? Can he kick the everloving crap out of the oatmeal guy like Cruise? So there.
Honk!
Honk!

BTW, mentioning Tom Cruise, Mifune and samurai in the same sentence is an insult to Mr. Mifune's memory.

Mifune's relationship to Kurosawa is like Robert DeNiro is to Scorsese, Peter Sellers is to Kubrick, Max Von Sydow is to Bergman, John Wayne to Ford, or Marcello Mastrioanni to Fellini. And not even these heady icons IMO can chew scenery like Mifune.

Do they even herd cattle in Japan? I remember reading that Mifune was an accomplished horseman. In Throne of Blood he shoots arrows while the horse is in full gallop. A double was used for most of Wayne's riding "stunts". So, I'll say Mifune is the better "cowboy". Now back to your regularly scheduled nonsense.
