Who's the better samurai? I think this is a no-brainer but I want to see the results.

It's completely unfair for me to vote, since I won't be seeing The Last Samurai, but I voted anyway. Toshiro it is, Toshiro it must be.

Kinda reminds me of that Quizno's radio commercial pitting "Ninja warriors" against accountants. To spell it out more clearly Mifune would be the ninjas.
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.

He did do an excellent job, maybe good enough to get a tip of the hit from Mifune, but to compete with him? Not even in the same league.
Oh yeah. And the obligatory Samurai pic
