Toshiro Mifune
Attachment 402342
famous for Godzilla movies ?
He was always the Japanese Admiral, General in all the WW2 movies.
Also, Seven Samurai, Yojimbo, Grand Prix and about a gazillion other movies. Would have made a good Obi-Wan, he turned down the part before it was offered to Guinness, or so I read.Quote:

Lucas was a huge Mifune fan and Mifune is the reason why the Jedi fighting style is based on Kenpo Karate. There is a documentary coming out on Mifune. Here is the trailer.

'. . . All the films that I made with Mifune, without him, they would not exist . . .'
He's the prototype for Clint Eastwood's 'man with no name'
'Member 'Sho-gun'? . . . .
. . . he was Toranaga
Guy's a classic
Never knew he had an Early 911
'. . . According to his daughter, Mifune turned down an offer from George Lucas to play Darth Vader or Obi Wan Kenobi . . .'Quote:

Can someone verify what model year this car is??
Saw this on Facebook today . . .
Elke Sommer at the beginning of the 1970s at the Nürburgring. I hope she was not driving the Opel :)
