During the filming of Kagemusha, Akira Kurosawa directed a number of ads for Suntory. Francis Ford Coppola, executive producer of the film, appears in a couple of them. I guess George Lucas doesn't drink.

Jul 6, 2008 - kurosawa in those years need money, and some expensive projects like kagemusha and ran were financiated with foreing money...kagemusha is a very good movie with a beautiful music, but 5 years later he did his absolutely master piece in my opinion....

Sonofsuleyman Says:

Jul 6, 2008 - Kurosawa liked to inspect samurai helmets while getting crunk? Man, I totally would have rolled with that guy.

ZoMbiEofTheDeaD Says:

Jul 6, 2008 - Amen

druha10304 Says:

Jul 6, 2008 - is this where coppola's daughter sofia got the idea for the scene in lost in translation with bill murray drinking that suntory , 'suntory time'

fuckyourmamma Says:

Jul 6, 2008 - Yup, that inspired the scene. Sofia earned her filmmaking chops since birth. Remember the baby from Godfather!

drchepa Says:

Jul 6, 2008 - indeed, much much much better.

ohworldgirl Says:

Jul 6, 2008 - VIVA Kurosawa!!!!! And yes, this is where Sophia Coppola got the idea for Suntory time! -in Lost in Translation.(I also believe her shots of the sun in the trees is a homage to AK because he was known for pretty much starting that style of filming in Roshomon)

rqbuchanan Says:

Jul 6, 2008 - These are great; I especially love the cheesy dubbed sound effects! Where did you find this, as an extra on a Kagemusha DVD?

JanKozibroda Says:

Jul 6, 2008 - He is one of the best movie director ever. In my opinion the best of them all.
