    My favorite Kurosawa movie is Ros****n. It's more personal and allegorical than Seven Samurai, even if it doesn't closely follow the short-story it takes it name from...

    You see it imitated all the time in American films.

    Although various copies have different qualities, it depends who is doing the transfer and they all don't do the full movie, Snake and Crane arts of Shaolin done in the '70s with Jackie Chan before he was into comedy rocks

    Ever notice how virtually everyone agrees that 95% of all traditional schools are crap, but NOBODY ever admits to being in that 5%? Don't judge... your skill may suck also...
