Japan's Greatest Actor in 5 of his greatest Samurai Cinema performances!

In a career that spanned almost 50 years, Toshiro Mifune was the Shogun of Japanese cinema. Although he started out as a cameraman, he quickly moved to the other side of the lens, starring in many of the most influential Japanese films of all time.

We are honored to present five classic Mifune films, digitally restored and shown in anamorphic widescreen. Here is Mifune at his best, showing why he wasn't just a movie star, but a great actor as well, tackling the diverse roles of bodyguard, strategist, tragic assassin and lovable loser.

Considered by many the best samurai film ever made, Samurai Assassin stars Mifune as a ronin who joins a conspiracy to assassinate a Shogunate Elder. Directed by Kihachi Okamoto (Sword of Doom).

Comedy collides with drama and tragedy when a bumbling peasant (Mifune, of course) is mistaken for a revolutionary leader in Red Lion.

A military genius learns the true meaning of honor when he falls in love with the one woman he cannot have in Samurai Banners.

Two legendary warriors with unstoppable blades clash (or do they?) when Zatoichi meets Yojimbo.

And in the final appearance of his legendary Yojimbo character, the yojimbo is hired to perform a mission so secret, even he isn't told what it is, only that it will involve an Incident at Blood Pass.

PS: If you've already purchased some of the above films and would like the box to put them in, then simply buy any 5 individual DVDs (samurai or anime), and include in the comments field of the shopping cart a request for the TOSHIRO MIFUNE BOX. We'll add a free box to your order (and pop your DVDs into it for shipping).
