One of the World's Greatest Actor of All Time
Yes, indeed! You're welcome on my channel to watch more videos about his movies and unique way of acting. The latest present his work with director Hiroshi Inagaki. More to come with other great directors, like Kihachi Okamoto and Senkichi Taniguchi.
@@Artdesignandcinema Thank you.
I will
@@djro You're welcome. One of my best, especially the second part of the video, is ruclips.net/video/rfqp-B-XU-I/видео.html
My favorite actor
Yes,never been another like him, immortal,akira's actor,the great Toshiro Mifume,forever.
Oh, Toshiro Mifune! I've never known an actor like Mifune, who is the best charismatic and most beautiful.
I'm haunted and obsessed by him and finished watching all his movies very recently among which San Ju Ro is the absolute favorite of mine. Incredibly amazing are those films directed by Akira Kurosawa, who really knew the most brilliantly charming points of Mifune, in my personal opinion! What a divine collaboration of those two legends in the world film history!!!!
Mifune was very cool for a guy who according to the story only wanted to be a camera-man, and after spending most of a day in a line to try to get hired, discovered only when he was at the front that it was the wrong line and threw such a loud tantrum that Kurosawa heard it and went to investigate - then told his people to hire Mifune as an actor. :D
@@WickedPrince3D ^^ What a story! I love it! ThanQ!^^ :D
@@jjan240 It's amusing that Mifune only became an actor because he got in the wrong job line; and threw such a wild tantrum; and Kurosawa heard him and determined he'd be a great actor. Mifune starred in most of Kurosawa's films. :D
Mifune was Japan's greatest actor, but he was not born in Japan. His family had emigrated to China where he was born and where his family had a photo developing shop. He first set foot in Japan after all Japanese were expelled from China after the end of WW2. He had applied to position as a photographer/cameraman for a movie company, but on the day of his interview he was misdirected to an audition for a part in a movie. He got so angry that the mistake was going to cost him the job he was applying for that he vented his anger in the audition which impressed the casting director that he had an up and coming director name Kurosawa Akira take a look at this audition and the rest is history.
he was born to become a samurai
In a way, Mifune is a real samurai.
A former military pilot, he learned swordsmanship from a famous swordsmanship master even after becoming an actor.
His swordsmanship level is very high.
As such, he was able to perform an powerful sword fight.
There were several such masters among the famous Japanese film actors of this era.
It was a very rare time.
Mifune is an amazing man, martial artist, and actor. One of the few who could play Musashi Miyamoto convincingly. had the butt out look in feudal Japan lol.
yes ... yes ... Toshiro Mifune was as good looking from the rear as from the front :))
What makes you think that he was not a martial artist? As far as I know, Toshiro Mifune was part of two renowned martial art schools in Japan and was 7e dan in kendo. Also very good in judo, aikido and yabusame. His master was Yoshio Sugino.
@@Artdesignandcinema Wow.. Kendo 7 dan means he was really good. Possibly he could live on that skill alone.
It's great to see that this incredible man also had a sense of humor and wasn't above playing with his bottom bare.
The fight scene in Hidden Fortress is my favorite. Such a cool fight that just happens out of the blue
Yes, a spectacular fight...with real spears. Multiple cameras hidden all around the scene, and an exceptional editing by Kurosawa. I love it too, very much. Toshiro Mifune looks regal in that scene. The way he looks at his opponent is almost terrifying. But the most difficult fight scenes, with real sword, are maybe in "Yojimbo", "Sanjuro" and in Kihachi Okamoto's "Samurai assassin". If you want to watch them, and a few others from Inagaki's movies, very cool too, take a look at my videos about Mifune's collaboration with Kurosawa, Inagaki, Taniguchi and Okamoto. A new video, about the spectacular "Throne of blood" will be online in a few hours.
Toschiro mifune,the legend samurai⭐arigato
Sword of Doom. Mifune fighting in the snow, is a cinematic masterpiece moment.
Yes, you're right! I like this moment, just before he starts fighting, when he's completely still. Then you know with certainty that he's way above his opponents and that he cannot loose the battle. After that, when he starts fighting, his moves are so fluid and deadly! It's amazing! There are other videos about him on my channel, I made them for my students who had no idea who he was. Take a look at this one, one of my best editing:
ruclips.net/video/rfqp-B-XU-I/видео.html
or, if you have time (the video is 14 minutes long):
ruclips.net/video/1x3E5ZExV5w/видео.html
@@Hatchetforce Indeed. Since you seems to know that fantastic movie very well, I invite you to watch my video about Toshiro Mifune's collaboration with director Kihachi Okamoto. One of my best in terms of editing (especially the second part). I hope that you will like it, all the movies they made together are really good.
Thanks to my uncle. He introduced me to Toshiro Mfume's movies. The Sword Of Doom ia his favorite movie. The crazy thing is that I introduce my uncle to Shogun (I believe it was one of Mfume's last movies).
A LEGEND.
Thank you! Yes he was unique and nobody can replace him. You're welcome on the channel to see my other videos for the 100th anniversary of his birth.
Art, design and cinema Thanks! You make great videos, I'm going to watch them!
@@grizzlybear869 Thank you for the compliment! The one you already saw was my first. So it's not my best. I recommand:
ruclips.net/video/rfqp-B-XU-I/видео.html
ruclips.net/video/kZjiBhTnfgI/видео.html
ruclips.net/video/1x3E5ZExV5w/видео.html (about his unique way of acting without speaking)
ruclips.net/video/bUWTNtGKZ6U/видео.html (about his characters relationships with women, with rare footage)
ruclips.net/video/bUWTNtGKZ6U/видео.html (about his collaboration with Akira Kurosawa)
and ruclips.net/video/MI0uwZeQG9s/видео.html (about his collaboration with Hiroshi Inagaki, less known than the one with Kurosawa)
The next one will concern his work with director Kihachi Okamoto, beautiful movies mostly in somptuous black and white like "Samurai assassin".
I appreciate how the editing of this compilation matches so closely the drum beats, with sword strikes and drum timing together. Nice editing!
Thank you very much! It was my first video so not the best, I had so much to learn. If you want to watch my best edits, I recommend the videos about Toshiro Mifune's collaboration with directors Inagaki, Taniguchi and Okamoto (this one, after 3 min. until the end, is maybe my best), also my personal trailers for "Throne of blood" and "Hell in the Pacific".
Mifune is a legend...
Yes he is. One of the best actors of all time, and a beautiful soul. He worked hard and was bold. But also generous, truly humble and very sweet. You're welcome to watch the other videos I made for the 100th anniversary of his birth, especially the 4 last videos about his work with directors Kurosawa, Inagaki, Taniguchi and Okamoto.
Mon dieu. He was gorgeous.
I agree with you. He was gifted but also worked a lot to become such an amazing actor. It surely help to be so handsome, with piercing eyes and a deep voice (have you ever got a chance to hear Toshiro Mifune sing? He had a very beautiful voice). But next to that, the amount of work is incredible! He used a real blade in every fight, became a master in martial arts, portrayed characters sometimes 30 or 40 years older than he was, putting so much energy in his work. Take a look at "Rashomon", this treasure of cinema. The way he plays Tajomaru, with his entire body, is unique and so ahead of his time!
I'm actually working on a video about the way he acted with his eyes. it will be online next week. But in the meantime, you can take a look at my other videos about him. For example:
ruclips.net/video/rfqp-B-XU-I/видео.html
or
ruclips.net/video/kZjiBhTnfgI/видео.html
I decided to create those videos for my art students. They had no idea who Toshiro Mifune was. Now, they know. :-)
Lifetime achievement award from the academy for this man
Mifune and Kirasawa are a timeless match.
Yes, you're right. But let's not forget his long time collaboration with the great director Hiroshi Inagaki (sadly forgotten today, but they made 19 movies together, more than he did with Kurosawa), and with Senkichi Taniguchi and Kihachi Okamoto. I invite you to watch my 3 videos about his movies with them. Certainly my best works in terms of editing.
No! Mofune and Kirasawa
He is... simply incredible, like not from this world. His strength, his elegance, his speed, his good looks... it's just amazing what this man brought with him. Too bad he turned down the Obi-Wan role.
hes like Clint Eastwood but fight with the sword is much more harder then just shooting
Ehhh, for acting maybe, but guns have their own difficulties.
He was Clint Eastwood before Clint Eastwood, check out Yojimbo. It's the original Fistful Of Dollars.
Bimer Bomer, you have it the otherway around
Clint copied him. Clint's cowboy character, the man with no name was actually taken from Mifune's charachter in Yojimbo amd Sanjuro. Mifune waa the first antihero. Im a big Eastwood fan but even I know he was heavily influenced by Mifune.
I have been a Mifune fan for many years, and enjoy his superb acting (great use of facial expressions, action, sword fighting), and while I have seen several of his films, I have not seen ALL of these shown in this outstanding compilation. I was not familiar with this music either, but enjoyed this presentation of the film scenes, and the music was "catchy" too. Overall, this is a an excellent and enjoyable video for anyone who likes Mifune or samurai films. I also appreciate the video's producer has provided us with timecodes and the titles and dates of the films included in the compilation! Very nice. Thanks!
Thank you very much for your comment! It was my first video and a reference to another one by someone else, using that song (but with the lyrics). My other videos are with different musics, I can understand that this one makes sometimes people cringe. I'm a collector of Toshiro Mifune's movies so if you are interested in watching some rare movies, you can write to me, using the email address in the "about"' section (make sure to use a laptop, apparently when people goes on my channel with their smartphone, they can't see the address). Since this old video, I improved a lot so, if you want to watch him in other scenes, I recommend that you watch these videos (watch tem until the end, there's often something more at the end or just after it):

@@Artdesignandcinema Thanks for the links. I will check them all out when I can. :)
Sorry Clint Eastwood, you're my boy, but Toshiro Mifune is MY MAN!
:-) Yes, Toshiro Mifune commanded respect and was very manly. It contrasts with his kind nature and shyness. Clint Eastwood created his own iconic character after "Yojimbo". The lonesome, silent and enigmatic man with no name. He was even inspired by Toshiro Mifune's character who chew on a blade of grass.
@@Artdesignandcinema Yeah, the imitation is clear to see. They do say it's the highest form of flattery though.
@@american_jackal5956 Indeed. But do not misunderstand me: I like Clint Eastwood who is a great actor (and director). And I'm sure that he has a lot of respect for Toshiro Mifune.
@@Artdesignandcinema Of course, after all, Clint is till my boy.
Yeah, I love Clint but he obviously copied Mifune.
Mifune was incredible. Not to take anything away from Guinness and McGregor, but I wish Mifune had accepted the role of Kenobi when Lucas offered it to him.
Yes, you're right, he was unique and so ahead of his time in terms of acting! He would have been a perfect Kenobi but the movies would have been so different with him! And he was so special, catching everyone's eyes, that Ford and Hamill would...disappear :-)
At least the light saber fight would have been much better.
Everybody gangsta till mifune pulls out a lightsaber
It would have made Obi Wan more of a rugged loner swordsman than the more cerebral Obi we had. Who would even be young Mifune Obi-Wan these days, Mifune was one of a kind.
@@caiuscosades362 Tony Jaa is 46 years old now. He has incredible, athletic fighting skills, and briefly left acting to be a Buddhist monk, so he would change the Jedis from Knights Templar to something closer to Muay Thai warrior monks.
Of course, to portray a young Mifune, he'd need a CGI facelift.
もうカッコ良すぎて惚れ惚れします。
Thank you for this comment! This video was my first attempt at editing. I had not a lot of movies in my possession when I made it. One day, I will do another version with much more fight scenes from less known movies.
Wow! Thank you!!! I really appreciate you taking the time to cite each except. You are a true scholar, ADC.
Thank you for your comment! This video was my first one and not the best. At the time, my collection of Toshiro Mifune's movies was still small so I will make another video with rare fights. If you like fights, I recommend my video about his collaboration with director Kihachi Okamoto (it's a little longer but in two parts and the second part is one of my best editing works). Also the videos about his work with directors Hiroshi Inagaki and Senkichi Taniguchi. Of course, he always used a real sword in his fights. And knowing them frame by frame because of the editing process, I can tell that he was so talented and prepared, so focused, that he never touched his opponents, which is amazing especially in scenes with multiple opponents. Just one time, in "Throne of blood", did he hit another actor. The next video will be about 'The hidden fortress", with the amazing spears fight.
@@Artdesignandcinema I ultimately put the original Lestat you referenced back at #1 b/c I wanted to emphasize the art of "cutting down men", but yours is more comprehensive, and included sequences like Rickshaw Man, which I think help contextualize some of the over-the-top fight sequences in Shaw era kung fu cinema for modern viewers who came up under post-cgi choreography with post-John Woo editing.
Plus, the transition Rickshaw (0:55) from that into the Red Beard empty-hand sequence was inspired.
Inclusion of the Musashi sequence is important also b/c you still typically don't see choreography on that kind of terrain, and you include some of his work with polearms. And then on top of that, you have sequences from Drunken Angel!
The the Rickshaw clip at 3:53 reinforces that Mifune will probably remain the greatest actor to do choreography at that level. (I think that girl from Crouching Tiger belongs in that conversation, which is also partly a function of working with great directors like Lee and Zhang, similar to the caliber of the great directors Mifune worked with.)
So your remix will always have a place on my 108.
@@itinerantpoet1341 Thank you very much! It was my first video, I learned a lot more about editing since then.
Let’s applaud the timing….
Wow. You did good. You did so good!
Thank you very much! It was my first editing work so I needed rhythm (maybe it's too much, some people don't like this music associated with Toshiro Mifune). Since then, I improved a lot. I invite you to watch my best videos, most of them are quite long (for youtube standards) but need to be watched until the end, like my video about his work with director Kihachi Okamoto (the most difficult one), the one about his work with Hiroshi Inagaki. The video "Toshiro Mifune's best scenes 1/3", the one about "Animas Trujano", his mexican movie (a fantastic role for him) and the last two: the trailer for "Hell in the Pacific" and the most complex video (with the Okamoto one), in terms of editing, for "Throne of blood", one of Akira Kurosawa masterpieces. To be honest, in all my videos, I try to use music on those images as if the actors were listening to it, moving in accord with it. If you want to watch Toshiro Mifune's always interesting interaction with women, I also recommend my two videos on the subject. The next one will be a trailer for "The hidden fortress", another of his best roles.
It’s good. Work through it. Better than me doing accounting. I don’t get better?
Toshiro mifune .He has never hit junior soldier during service 5 years WW2.
When War over ,He broke army warehouse and distributed foods to hungry neighbors (for citizens) around the base same day. He took only one blanket .
This is Brilliant editing.
The entire fight in Red Beard was awesome, and deserves more time on this montage, in my humble opinion. One of the first cinematic portrayals of actual jujutsu used by samurai and bone setters/physicians.
Fun fact....samurai jujutsu is the closest art related to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. While almost all grappling styles (regardless of country of origin)have similar moves, patterns, attack/defense mechanisms, and even footwork.....samurai jujutsu was one of the first Asian grappling arts that did incorporate strikes, takedowns, and newaza (groundwork). Very lethal and very effective even still after some 2-300 years on. That's not saying everything is still as effective today as it was then. No. However, most martial arts evolve based on numerous criteria. Those that maintain their efficiency are usually the ones still used some hundreds of years on.
Thank you for your very knowledgeable comment! I'm not a specialist but I agree, this fight in Red Beard is really awesome. Toshiro Mifune's flawless moves are remarkable. This video was my first one, and of course not my best, by far. Since I wanted to show various scenes and to be in rhythm with the music, I had to cut it in half. If you want to watch other fights, I recommend my videos about his collaboration with directors Kihachi Okamoto, Hiroshi Inagaki and Senkichi Taniguchi.
@@Artdesignandcinema hey still not a bad job at all, my friend. And I will definitely check out those other videos. I do dig samurai films quite a bit. I think my favorite is called Kiru! With tatsuya nakadai. I believe it is another adaptation of the novel sanjuro. I think it takes a more humorous approach. It's been awhile since I've seen both films back to back. I just love that movie for some reason. It totally blew me away the first time I saw it.
Btw. Consider me a subscriber. Your videos rule!
@@fletchkeilman2205 Welcome aboard and thank you for the compliment! Creating these videos is work, yes, never less than 40-50 hours and until 135 hours for one of them. I'm actually working on one about "The hidden fortress", a sort of trailer, similar to those about "Throne of blood", "Hell in the Pacific" and "Stray dog"".
You could see jujutsu techniques in the silent era of Japanese movies. Brazillian jiujitsu is actually Kosen Judo.
Fantastic! He was a great actor.
My boyfriend has recently gotten me into a lot of Mifune's films... And oh my gosh, what an actor and stunt worker!!!
Yes indeed. He was an outstanding actor, able to play any kind of role. People often remember him for his samurai roles but he was a great actor of films noirs and since he was very funny in real life, he was also good with comedy. Toshiro Mifune was always doing everything for real, using a real sword and in "Throne of blood", one of Kurosawa's masterpiece, when he's shot by hundred of arrows, they are real. His memory was incredible, he never had a script with him during rehearsal or on set. He knew perfectly well his own part and also the parts of the other actors. He was working very hard to do the best he could. I don't know what movies you already saw but I recommend, beside all his movies with Kurosawa, the beautiful "Rickshaw man", a movie by Hiroshi Inagaki, and the "Samurai" trilogy by Inagaki too. Also, all his movies with director Kihachi Okamoto. If you want to see other sides of his incredible acting, I recommend my videos about his collaboration with Inagaki, Taniguchi and Okamoto and also, my video "When words are not necessary". I wanted to show this very distinctive sign of his art: acting without speaking, only with the eyes.
Anyway, I'm happy that you discovered this unique actor who inspired modern actors like Christian Bale or Daniel Day-Lewis. And if you have a chance to watch "Seven samurai" in a theater, please do it, it's a unique experience and one of Mifune's favorite roles.
Based on this excellent compilation video, LIKED, and SHARED (to social media) and Subscribed to channel. Keep up the good work! (And please provide titles on films in any future compilations, as it helps if we don’t recognize them).
Thank you very much! The next video will be a personal trailer for "The hidden fortress" by Akira Kurosawa. I hope to finish the editing work before Christmas.
三船敏郎の斬った後の納刀が格好いい。
Thank you for your comment. It's unbelievable to think that Mifune Toshiro used a real sword in his fights. While editing my videos, I often look at the clips frame by frame. And yes, he never touch his opponents with his sword. It's amazing! I can't imagine the amount of work it represents! This man was truly exceptional. You are welcome to watch the last videos on the channel, about his work with directors Kurosawa, Inagaki, Taniguchi and Okamoto.
China and japan greatest actor
Real Chad energy on this man.
Excelente Homenagem ao grande Toshiro mifune!👏
Thank you very much! This is an old video, my very first one, and since my collection was not very big at the time, some very important scenes are lacking. I invite you to watch better edited videos, about Toshiro Mifune's work with directors Inagaki, Taniguchi and Okamoto. Also the video about "Animas Trujano", his first foreign movie, and the videos about "Hell in the Pacific", "Throne of blood" and "Stray dog".
He showed great judo skill in Sanshiro Sugata (1958).
Unfortunately, I haven't seen this movie. My collection includes 47 films with him but not this one. It's hard to find some of them outside of Japan. Thank you for your comment, I will try to find it.
SUGATA SANSHIRO is a film in 1943
sorry,it's another film .
There is a documentary about him and its stated that sometimes he and his friends would go out to bars and have a good time (which also includes sometimes running into Yakuza and well I'll leave it at that).
Incredible man of talent and charisma
Can you please list the movies where these clips are from? I would love to watch some of the ones I haven't seen yet. :)
Of course! I'm very happy if my work gives you the desire to see Toshiro Mifune's movies. This man was so incredible and unique, so ahead of his time in his way of acting and so nice as a person.
I already did a movie list with one of my last videos about him:
ruclips.net/video/1x3E5ZExV5w/видео.html
and if you like his work, take a look at my channel, especially:
ruclips.net/video/rfqp-B-XU-I/видео.html (if you don't have time for the whole video, start at 3:32)
and:
ruclips.net/video/kZjiBhTnfgI/видео.html
and the last one, with Adele extended SKYFALL song (the editing was very challenging in this one, I needed more than 50 hours to complete the work):
ruclips.net/video/bUWTNtGKZ6U/видео.html
Of course, music is very important in my work so I recommend good headphones or good loudspeakers.
Come back tomorrow for the movie list on this one! And thank you for your comment!
@@Artdesignandcinema Thank you :)
Saludos a la familia Toshiro Mifune. Buena semana.
Thank you! I wish you a nice week too! You are welcome on the channel to see more videos about Toshiro Mifune (the 2 last ones, about his collaboration with directors Okamoto and Taniguchi, are among my best editing work). The next one will be about "Animas Trujano", one of his best roles.
If I'm not mistaken or nuts,
I'd say that music accompaniment reminds
me of James Brown & The Flames..!
Yes, you're right, it's very funky with the bass and the rythmic guitar and the horns. The drums are more rock 'n roll in my opinion. I like Funk and P-Funk a lot. I needed rythm for this particular video, it was my first try in editing. For my other videos about Toshiro Mifune, I choose different kind of music.
The fighter suddenly transforms into a killer...that was Mifune special ❤
Mifune was the only one who could fit the roles he played
That is so true! That's why it's impossible to have remakes of his movies. Nobody could replace him.
I have heard that the extras in those mass fights when he was being Samurai were not exactly thrilled to be opposite Mifune, as he had a habit of not really pulling his strikes, and following through on them. Don't get me wrong, it looks amazing, and it's what you would actually want to be doing, just being on the receiving end was a mite unpleasant. And the Yari duel in Hidded Fortress and the duel at the end of Sanjuro are probably two of my favorites of his.
Thank you for your comment! Yes, you're right, it must have been quite scary to be on the receiving end, especially because he was always so much in character. And using real swords! I can't even imagine the amount of preparation he went through but I can understand why he preferred fight scenes under Kurosawa's direction than with Inagaki. He said once that scenes were extremely well prepared with Kurosawa, no surprise. Inagaki on the other hand often asked for changes at the last minute. And since Toshiro Mifune was a very responsible man who did not want to hurt his opponents, that was infuriating for him, adding to his stress. This video that you just saw is a bit old, it was my first one and not the best, by far. I invite you to watch my videos about his work with directors Inagaki, Taniguchi and Okamoto if you want to watch more fight scenes. Also the video named "Toshiro Mifune best scenes 1/3". In the Okamoto video, there's a scene in which he fights 5 opponents in a circular movement, in a very tiny space. Amazing scene, certainly one of the most difficult in his career. And I can tell, knowing all those scenes frame by frame, that he never touched anybody with his sword...except when it was needed like in the fantastic duel in "Sanjuro". Once he hurt another actor, in "Throne of blood" (I've made a video about this movie too) but it was the only time. Toshiro Mifune was really an amazing man and his fighting skills remain exceptional because not one scene ever looks staged. He had that hability to make you forget it was a movie. You talked about "The hidden fortress", my next video will be about that movie 🙂.
@@Artdesignandcinema oooh, nice. Looked at that one honestly due to George Lucas stealing the two hapless farmers from it for R2 and 3PO, then saw Mifune and Kurosawa and went 'yoink'. Loved Mifune since I first saw the Samurai trilogy movies as a kid with my dad.
@@dantreadwell7421 Yes, for "Starwars episode IV", Lucas was influenced by "The hidden fortress". He first wanted Mifune for the role of Kenobi, even offered him the role of Darth Vader. But Mifune refused, saying it would not fit the true samurai spirit. For sure, him as Kenobi wold have been really interesting, but he would have stolen all the scenes 😁. Lucas also was influenced by Toshiro Mifune and Tatsuya Nakadai duel in Kobayashi's movie "Samurai rebellion". That's where he found the idea of the former student, dressed all in black, fighting his master to death. It's nice to talk with someone who saw movies with Mifune at a early age, I too watched him first when I was very young, it was "Seven samurai". Inagaki's trilogy is remarkable and was well restored recently. I will one day make a video about it. After all, Mifune has made more movies with Inagaki, who is today totally forgotten but was very popular in the 50's, than with Kurosawa. I already tried to honor their collaboration in one video but will specifically work on the "Samurai" trilogy soon. If you are interested in rare Mifune movies, I can share with you, just use the email address in the "about" section (it's hidden in it) and I will reply to you.
@@Artdesignandcinema that does ring a bell, about Mifune being Kenobi, and you're right, that would have been, depending on how he played it, a very different portrayal. My dad and I actually saw the Samurai Trilogy during a limited theatricla re release. It was quite a treat seeing it like that. Late 90s I think it was.
@@dantreadwell7421 You were lucky! It's very rare to see that trilogy on the big screen.
no doubt a classic!
Toshiro Mifune is one of the best actors of all times. He was so dedicated to his roles, so bold and uncompromising! He could play any roles (from Macbeth to Cyrano, from a humble taxi driver to a mighty general) and did not hesitate to put himself in great danger. Of course, he always used a real sword in his fights. But his work extends far beyond samurai movies. I invite you to watch my videos about his collaboration with directors Kurosawa, Inagaki, Taniguchi and Okamoto, also the video about "Animas Trujano", his mexican movie, a role that nobody else could play with such intensity. And the videos about "Hell in the Pacific" and "Throne of blood". Those are my best editing works, far better than the old "fights" video.
He is a real samurai.
GREATEST OF ALL TIMES
大菩薩峠の殺陣も入れてほしい♪
Merci de votre commentaire. Je n'avais pas ce film lorsque j'ai fait la vidéo et c'est pourquoi il manque des scènes de combat. Je ferai une autre vidéo sur le même thème, avec aussi des scènes issues de films plus rares. Je vous conseille mes autres vidéos sur Mifune Toshiro, notamment la dernière (sur ses films avec Taniguchi Senkichi).
Trés bonne vidéo de plus j'adore le Japon avec les samouraï l'invasion mongole ect continuer comme ça.
Merci pour votre commentaire! N'hésitez pas à voir les autres vidéos sur Toshiro Mifune et Akira Kurosawa sur la chaîne. En préparation: une vidéo sur le grand réalisateur Hiroshi Inagaki, aujourd'hui oublié, mais qui a été le "Steven Spielberg" japonais des années 50-60. Mifune a tourné 19 films avec lui, dont certains sont remarquables et spectaculaires. La plupart sont d'ailleurs en couleur.
Where would action be without Mifune.
You are right. He always played with such intensity, it's almost frightening. And, of course, always used a real sword, which means an enormous amount of work before filming. Nobody can reenact his fights scenes with the same perfection. Tatsuya Nakadai, who used also a real sword in his duels with Toshiro Mifune, is very good, but he lack the physicality of Mifune, even if he's taller. Toshiro Mifune was truly unique. You are welcome on the channel to see my other videos about his art. The 3 last ones are about his collaboration with directors Okamoto, Taniguchi and Inagaki.
@@Artdesignandcinema definitely will check that out.
Amazing 👏 very well done.. work of art 🎨 ✨️ 💖
Thankn you very much! It was my first one so not the best...and the choice of music makes some people cringe. I invite you to watch more recent videos like the ones about Mifune's collaboration with directors Inagaki, Taniguchi and Okamoto, also the trailers for Hell in the Pacific and Throne of blood. Much better in terms of editing.
In the Kurosawa film Throne of Blood, there is a scene where Mifune stabs one of his retainers. In real life, the actor had a block of wood underneath his armor to take the blow. Blocks of wood were often used in kurosawa movies (hidden under clothes or armor) to take blows from weapons. Well, Mifune was so strong and powerful that in this case, his sword thrust pierced all the way through the wooden block and injured the actor for real! So when you watch that scene in Throne of Blood, you're watching a guy actually get stabbed in real life.
もう役者というもんじゃないな。
本物の侍だ。
You're right, he was much more than just an actor. Dedicated to his art, with an iron will, and so much courage! He was also a man with a heart of gold, a very kind and generous person. You can see that in his smile.
You are welcome on the channel to see other videos I made to honor his memory.
The 4 last ones are about his collaboration with directors Kurosawa, Inagaki, Taniguchi and Okamoto. One of the next video will honor his work with the great Takashi Shimura.
Toshiro Mifune 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😷😷😷😷😷😷😷😷
Ahah, thank you for your enthusiasm! If you want to watch other great scenes, I recommend my videos about his collaboration with directors Kurosawa, Inagaki, Taniguchi and Okamoto. Also the video about "Animas Trujano", is mexican movie, one of his best roles, and my trailer for "Hell in the Pacific".
Oh I love this. What was the song you used?
Thank you! Te song is "How you like me now" by The Heavy. As this video was my first one, I needed rhythm. It may surprise some people though. It was also a reference to a much older video made by someone else on the same subject. If you want to watch other great scenes with Toshiro Mifune, I recommend my 4 videos about his collaboration with directors Kurosawa, Inagaki, Taniguchi and Okamoto (this last one must be watch until the end, you'll see, it's my best editing), the video about "Animas Trujano", his mexican movie, the trailers for "Hell in the Pacific" and "Throne of blood". Another video with lesser known but amazing fights will soon be online, of course always with a real sword. Don't forget to like the videos if you like them. It's a lot of work and it's always nice to see that people like my work.
02:48 Samurai Assassin
Yes, you're right, this is this amazing movie by Kihachi Okamoto, one of my favorite japanese director. The original japanese title is "Samurai" but there are so many movies using that word...I think that's why, when it was released in the West, they added "assassin" in the title.
The Heavy -How do you like me now? No one knows the band but everyone uses their music for accompaniment of videos
Yes, it's true. I discovered them by chance, because of that music used on a video of Toshiro Mifune's fights. And, as the one you just saw was my first one, I decided to use that music (without lyrics), as a reference to the original video, and because I needed rythmn (I was just a beginner at editing). Since then, I listened to that group a little more.
As you will see if you visit my channel, for my other Toshiro Mifune's related videos, the musics are quite different. For this "fights compilation" video, I really wanted to make a reference at the original video on RUclips.
Thank you for your comment.
Best Japanese actor ever!
I agree! He was so dedicated to his roles, he truly became the character. He was also very bold and uncompromising.
A rare man with a heart of gold, extremely generous and funny. You can watch other great scenes in my videos about Toshiro Mifune, some of them from movies never released outside Japan. The video you just saw was my first one and not the best. Take a look at the videos about his collaboration with directors Inagaki, Taniguchi and Okamoto, also the video about "Animas Trujano", his mexican movie, and the trailer for "Hell in the Pacific". Those are my best editing works.
If Godzilla had a human form, it would be Toshiro Mifune.
He was Anthony Quinn of Japan. Even both two has resemble in facecut too😊
Toshiro Mifune the best, same perfect!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes indeed, he was perfect. I will make another video with lesser known fights in the future.
Whatta stud. 🤙
It is true that Toshiro Mifune was a very manly man. But he was also extremely kind and generous and funny. If you want to see another video of him being manly, take a look at my video about his collaboration with director Kihachi Okamoto. Certainly one of my best videos in terms of editing. Especially the second part.
すげこれが伝説のサムライの力か
三船さんに睨まれて対峙すると、俳優さんは恐くて動けなくなって切りに行けなかったそうですね。
Il y a plus d’acteurs de cette envergure 👍
Merci pour votre commentaire. En effet, vous avez raison. Il y a quelques très grands acteurs, comme Christian Bale ou Daniel Day-Lewis, qui sont de grands admirateurs de Toshiro Mifune et s'inspirent de son art, mais ils ne sont pas aussi complets que lui. Il a ouvert la voie dans certains domaines. Par exemple, il fut le premier à s'affamer pour un rôle, en 1947 pour "L'ange ivre" de Kurosawa. Bale a repris l'idée, en la poussant à l'extrême, pour "The machinist" en 2005. Mifune a aussi eu l'audace de jouer un personnage de 75 ans alors qu'il n'en avait que 35, en 1955. Cela ne se faisait pas à l'époque, aujourd'hui, c'est plus habituel pour un acteur. Il a aussi été le premier à pleurer réellement devant une caméra, en 1948. Il vivait ses rôles, et son sérieux faisait l'admiration de tous ses collègues. Il utilisait toujours un vrai sabre, ce qui implique un degré de préparation considérable. Personne ne faisait cela. La vidéo que vous avez vue était ma première et pas ma plus réussie. A l'époque, je n'avais pas accès à autant de films. Si vous voulez avoir une meilleure idée de son talent unique, à travers des scènes de films parfois très rares, regardez mes vidéos sur sa collaboration avec les réalisateurs Kurosawa, Inagaki, Taniguchi et Okamoto. Aussi, la vidéo sur "Animas Trujano" son film mexicain, un rôle taillé pour lui. Et les deux vidéos appelées "Best scenes 1 et 2".
This is so RAW!!!!
Thank you! This video, my first one, is a reference to another one, made by someone else and quite popular. I had not many Mifune movies at the time so it's not complete. I will do another one, with lesser known scenes, but still spectacular. He was truly amazing in those scenes, so precise, so quick, and with so much energy! Using a real blade, it's...crazy! I can't imagine the amount of work that represents before filming.
4:00 rip all "Most Handsome Man of 2???" winners B)
I totally agree with you. He was unique, not only a very handsome man but also a beautiful soul with a heart of gold. Sorry for answering so late but your message did not appear on my board.
Awesome!
Thank you. If you watch the videos, and that you like them, do not forget to "like" them. it's a lot of work to create them and it's always nice to see that people find this work entertaining and/or useful.
What's the name of the song? My 4 yeard old son likes this video because of the music and fighting
Song name is How you like me now, this is instrumental version of the song. This video is somewhat a remake of very old one with the same song and mifune fights complilation.
You will find the title and name of the band under the video itself. I'm happy that you son likes it😊
Who trained Mifune?
Yoshio Sugino. He was an amazing martial artist, 10e dan. He was the choregrapher for "Seven samurai", "The hidden fortress" or "Yojimbo". He also worked on Inagaki "Samurai" trilogy. But Toshiro Mifune was naturally very skilled. When he was still a boy, he learned kendo and was brilliant. I read somewhere that he did himself the choregraphies in later movies like "Samurai rebellion" but I'm not sure of that info.
Can't say for sure, and do you mean acting or fighting? He wasn't interested in acting so it's probably fair to guess did a lot self-taught and picked up more over time from others in the industry. He got into a lot of street fights as a kid defending his brother, and also was in the Japanese Army during WWII where he got beaten by his superiors for his attitude and eventually he was working as an instructor while in the military too. So it's reasonable to think he could have had a mix of practical applied experience plus some formal training (most folks in the Japanese military at the least had to do some bayonet training, officers might have had some additional martial arts training) though not everyone in Japan knew martial arts even then.
Rather hear at least some of the original sound or all
Even Bruce Lee seemed like an amateur novice before Mifune.
Bruce Lee was a great fan of Toshiro Mifune. But you're right. Even if he was an athlete and technically a great performer, he lacked something essential: Mifune was a wonderful actor, one of the greatest. He could play any role. He was always so convincing. Sensible, charming, bold, funny, powerful...and he put so much intelligence in every role. In my opinion, no one can compare to him.
@@Artdesignandcinema I thought chinese hated the Japanese with their hearts? They have expressed it multiple times. Good to know though
@@mingchenwei1978 Yes, it's true that they hate each other. The japanese imperial army did horrible things in China in the 30's. It was not only war crimes but crimes against Humanity. Toshiro Mifune was not born in Japan but in Manchuria, the japanese region in the Northeast of China. So, in a way, he was later considered a Chinese by the Chinese themselves. He came to Japan before WWII for the first time. He was 19 at the time. His background (born in China in a japanese family, raised as a Japanese, living in a very modern city built by the Russians where many other nationalities lived) did not prevent him to become "the most japanese of all men". He was later in his career also called "Mifune of the world". And his gentle understanding nature conducted him to love other cultures and people. His first foreign movie in 1961 was a mexican movie, "Animas Trujano", a masterpiece. A Mexican said to me that in Mexico, he was considered as...the best mexican actor of all time! Truly, this man was not ordinary. I invite you to watch my best videos, far better than the one you just saw about his fights (it was my first): the 4 videos about his collaboration with directors Kurosawa, Inagaki, Taniguchi and Okamoto (some of them with very rare footage from movies never released outside Japan or not for a long time), the videos about "Animas Trujano", "Hell in the Pacific", with Lee Marvin, and the last one, about "Throne of blood", one of his favorite role (Macbeth). Oh, for the Okamoto video, watch it until the end, the second part is maybe my best editing work.
@@Artdesignandcinema wait I’m confused. Is he chinese, manchurian, or Japanese?
@@mingchenwei1978 He's Japanese, born in Manchuria. His parents were both Japanese. And even if he could speak Chinese, he considered himself as Japanese and, in his movies, embodied the japanese spirit (his grand-father was a samurai).
Is it me, or is this jam used like all the time in these TM tribute videos?
It was my first video and a reference to another one, much older, by someone else. If you go on the channel, you will see that my musical choices are very different from this one. I recommand the 4 last videos.
Omigoto !
If memory serves, there was an exceptional sequence in Sword of Doom when Mifune, as a venerable master, is accosted in a palanquin, and gets out an kills everyone with a spear. Am I remembering correctly, and do you know if that clip is available on youtube?
Yes, the fight scene with the falling snow. Magnificent cinematography and Toshiro Mifune is really impressive! But he uses his sword, not a spear. I only know two spears fights in his filmography: the one in "The hidden fortress" in 1958 and the one in "Life of an expert swordman" in 1959, much shorter. You can add the fight in "Musashi Miyamoto" when he's captured but it's not really a spear. I don't know if the clip is available on youtube but I could send it to you if you want.
@@Artdesignandcinema Weird I remember that snow sequence as spear! I'm going to have to take another look at that film.
Part of the reason I love it is because it also explicates an important concept of bushido, where mutual death is the only means of victory, but, because it is also modern, the nemesis destroys themself, such that the young hero does not need to make that sacrifice.
Crouching Tiger is a Chinese parallel in regard to swordsmanship, reinforcing that strategy is more important than the blade, which was also the fundamental assertion of Five Rings.

Yes, you're right. Unfortunately, I haven't seen "Animas Trujano" yet. But I know that this is one of his best roles.
Cut the music
Au moins, vous avez le mérite d'être clair. Pas extrêmement courtois mais clair. Si j'ai choisi cette musique, c'est pour un bonne raison: il s'agit d'un clin d'oeil à une vidéo plus ancienne faite par quelqu'un d'autre sur le même thème. Maintenant que vous savez, je vous pose donc la question (car il est toujours plus facile de critiquer que d'apporter des réponses): quelle musique "idéale" verriez-vous donc sur cette vidéo?
If you don't like the music, just put YOUR volume off
Please. What is the name of the song used?
The Heavy "How do you like me now?". You can find the details under the video.
As it was my first video, I needed a lot of rhythm. I chose the instrumental version of the song in reference to another video made years ago, about Toshiro Mifune's fights. My other videos have very different music, usually epic/dramatic/dark. You're welcome on the channel to see them, for example my last one:

"Life of a horse-trader", 1951, directed by Keigo Kimura with Takashi Shimura as the bad guy and Machiko Kyo who made her debut in "Rashomon" the year before. This clip is from the sumo scene, when Mifune's character must confront a bigger guy and is crippled by his shoulder. The movie can be found in DVD. You can see the list of all movies under my video. And if you like Toshiro Mifune, you're welcome on the channel. I've made other videos to honor his work and memory for the 100th anniversary of his birth.
I've seen Life of a Horse Trader, it's wonderful, Rickshaw Man by Inagaki style, but I like this one more
@@dosnohacenuna Yes, that movie is very nice, although the actual copy is very dark. The movie was not restored, sadly. I will soon make a video about "Animas Trujano". The movie was restored in its original cinemascope format and the quality is now very good. And another "fights" compilation with scenes from rare movies.
1:08スティーブンセガールは三船にそっくり
This music does not match the samurai fighting scenes. “Spoiler”
Such a shame hidden fortress's chase on horse wasn't included
This video was my first one and I had to choose scenes, otherwise, it would have been way too long. The horse scene from "The hidden fortress" will be part of a secon video about Toshiro Mifune's fights, including very rare footage.
Not bad if you mute that terrible music.
Why mix up the fight scenes?.Why chop them up , then mix up the pieces, then splice together....like a frakking soap opera?
Interesting question, thank you to ask, even if you could ask it without being rude. The idea, as with the other videos, was first to show scenes from Toshiro Mifune's movies to my students, who had no idea who he was. I started with this video, using this music as a reference to another video, made by someone else long ago, on the same topic. The music is different from the music I chose for other videos, as it was my first attempt to edit scenes and I needed rhythm. Of course, in an ideal world, I would prefer to show a scene from the beginning to the end. But there's a question of author rights and I'm not allowed to use more than a few seconds of a movie, otherwise, my video is blocked by RUclips. I see my editing process as a trailer for a movie. Editors cut scenes to extract the most significant part of it and gain the public's attention. I do the same. I refined my process with time and I invite you to watch my 4 last videos, about Toshiro Mifune's work with directors Inagaki, Taniguchi and Okamoto and the last one about his mexican movie, "Animas Trujano". You will see that my editing process is not an insult to Toshiro Mifune's work, but a way to honor it. Those videos take a lot of time, between 30 and 100 hours. As you can see, I do not delete your comment from my channel, as other would do, because I believe everybody has the right to express themselves. I wish you a good day.
@@Artdesignandcinema I'm saving your words of reply for my english lesson, there are key words that show often in my study, thanks, have a good day!
@@motorola9956 You're welcome, although English is not my native tongue and there must be errors sometimes.
Or you could have put your question this way: "What was the reasoning behind this style of editing?" ... or ... "I don't understand the editing choices. Will you explain, please?" ... or probably quite a few other ways that are not so combative. As my mom always said, "You'll catch more flies with honey than with vinegar."
Someone doesn't know what a compilation tribute is. It's like you went to a birthday party and complained about people putting candles on a cake.

people need to see 0:48 in slow motion. Holy shit XD.
Yes, he was so fast! So well prepared! In the same movie, "Samurai assassin", a fantastic movie by the great Kihachi Okamoto, there's another scene in a narrow space. I wonder if it was not the most difficult scene with a sword he ever did. Such a narrow space, and 6 opponents if I remember well. Toshiro Mifune is using a real sword, like always. He doesn't touch them. His makes a circular movement, killing one opponent at a time but so quickly you can't believe it. I can't imagine the amount of work before filming to obtain that result. I added that particular scene in my video named "Toshiro Mifune - Kihachi Okamoto - Collaboration". Watch it until the end, it's maybe my best editing work so far.
would have been much better as obi wan
Sadly he passed away in 1997, but we do have his role in The Hidden Fortress which became the inspiration for Obi-Wan!
TURNED OFF soon as music started..
why people insist on puttin their own soundtrack is beyond me.
It's ok if you don't like that video, but you could be a little more polite in your comment. It's always easy to be rude, hidden behind a screen. At least, you could ask yourself why I chose to use this music since my other videos are completely different from this one. There's a reason, and I would have been happy to explain it to you like I did to other people, but truly, I don't think that I will take the time to do it. I wish you a good day!

Of course this video is a little special because I needed their attention and to surprise them. But today, I'm happy because those students, aged 10 to 14, who had no idea who Toshiro Mifune was, who never saw a movie in another language and with subtitles, understand how rich and diverse cinema can be. They know Kurosawa, they know Inagaki or Okamoto, even if it's just a little, and they are able to stay for 3:27 hours on a chair, watching "Seven samurai" and APPLAUDE at the end.
