The Seven Samurai
Okay, first off, let me say that i know that this movie is Japanese and its about samurai and not traditional martial artists, but it is a great movie in its own right.
Has anyone else seen it out there; it just was released digitally re-mastered on DVD.

It's quite possibly the best movie ever created!
The story is good, the character development is awesome! and the acting it great too!

Some may boast of prowess bold,
Of the school they think so grand,
But there's a Spirit, can ne'er be told,
It's the Spirit of Aggieland

The guy who pretended to be a samurai (who happened to only be 13) was Kikucho. Kikucho's a riot to watch if you understand Japanese, a little like Chris Tucker.
One of my alltime fav's.

I can't believe he was only 13!!!!
That's a shock

I think it's Kurasawa's best movie ever. It was the pattern for the later Hollywoodized version called "The Magnificent Seven", which itself isn't bad.
I have "Seven Samurai" in my video collection and watch it several times a year at least.

Did I miss something Black_Talon? or was that just sarcasm?
The character Kikucho was pretending to be a 13 year old samurai. They found out when they read his little lineage chart.
Unless you're just messing with me.

The way I read your comment I thought you meant his real life age was 13!!!!
That why I was shocked!

That was the same actor from "Yojimbo"- "Kagemusha" too if I'm not incorrect. I'm pretty sure his name was Mifune. Excellent actor cuz he's so different in each role- I had to be told it was him in each movie.

Hey is Yojimbo any good? The only Kurasawa movie I've seen is The Seven Samurai

I was never much into samurai, except for some budo theory like in the Hagakure, but I dig every Kurosawa flick I've ever seen.
Almost anyone could stand up to American classics like Bridge of the River Kwai, Cleopatra, Ben Hur, Lawrence of Arabia, et al; and yet probably done on a fraction of the budget of any of those.
The Bruce Willis movie "Last Man Standing" is based on Yojimbo. Almost every single scene is the same, just with prohibition- or 40s- era mafia stuff going on instead of feudal japan. It's almost like they just re-texture-mapped the movie (for you computer graphics people out there).
I recommend getting anyone you can; although "Ras****n" (not sure if that was actually done by him) is a bit freaky.
Enjoy

Well I've been into samurai stuff for as long as I can remeber, so I'd probably love it.
I'd have to buy it though as no video store here has it for rent.

Yojimbo is fantastic, as is the sequel Sanjuro.
Rent or buy them both at the next opportunity.

I just wrapped up a viewing party of "Mad Monkey Kungfu" and "My Young Auntie"
Neener, neener, neener.
On the other hand, if you have a DVD player, there's always netflix.com.
