This is great. The first Kurosawa film I ever saw.

This is an amazing film, HUGE inspiration on George Lucas for Star Wars. This is a film that Kurosawa was under contract to make when he didn't even really want to; the end result is still an amazing film. Kurosawa didn't go half-ass on the film just because he had to make it. The film is so much fun and is really funny. I still am in awe of the battle while riding on horses. Go see this film.

Awesome film from Kurosawa. Unusually funny and with another spectacular performance from Mifune. As Dan said, the Star Wars influence is very obvious. Fans of those films should definitely check this one out.

why did you say "unusually funny"? i find a few of kurosawa's films to be really funny, this and yojimbo in particular.

Really? I only found Yojimbo, Sanjuro, and Hidden Fortress funny. Otherwise, I don't think Kurosawa tries to be humorous that often.

seven samurai has some hilarious moments, did you forget mifune's character in that? haha. obviously he doesn't do many funny things in his historical epics, like ran, but he does have a funny bone or two in him. i wouldn't be surprised to see humor in a kurosawa film at all.
