Toshiro Mifune

Oh my god, I love this fool on so many levels, it's bananas.

One of my favorite parts in this scene in particular is when he tears up the room. There are a few movies that have really great scenes where the actor/s get to just rip a room into pieces; from Citizen Kane to Zombieland, and of course, Yojimbo. I enjoy it for two reasons. One, I want to fuck a room up with everything I got. I think there is something therapeutic about it. Two, I am impressed by the actor's skills to get it right the first time. It's not like they have several rooms set up and get take after take. They get one shot.
