LOL! how true. Twilight Samurai (Tasogare Seibee) features Sanada Hiroyuki, the "village martial arts teacher" from The Last Samurai. not only is he an excellent actor, but his martial skill is quite astounding. (too bad the film didn't get the nod at the Oscars, but as a Canadian, i have to support the choice of The Barbarian Invasions.) Ame Agaru is equally good for its fight scenes and also features some great actors, including Mifune's son as a sharp-tongued feudal lord.
