I was hoping it would be this scene.

I've seen a lot of Kurosawa and a fair bit of Mifune, but I think that's the only part of that movie I've ever seen.

^^You're kidding. It's actually a pretty good movie, the sequel to Yojimbo.

Sanjuro uses an advanced fast draw technique that is twice as fast as a classical draw, but if your timing is off you risk cutting your own arm off.

Another favorite scene of mine- from Yojimbo. The look on Toshiro Mifune's face is priceless.

This came up in my youtube suggestions

A Fistful of Yojimbo

^ ^ ^ ^ That's awesome.
Hats off to whoever edited it.
(I feel a Kurosawa binge coming on...)

Im super late to the Kurosawa game and damn hes brilliant. I loved Sanjuro but still need to see Yojimbo.

Great scene. Kurosawa integrated the namelessness of Mifune's character in Sanjuro with his dialog - when asked his name, as he looks at the camellia blossoms and says Tsubaki Sanjuro, 30 years told..., going on 40. I think Yojimbo has a similar scene - a good reason to rewatch both.
