Tin,Kurosawa made 4 films (High and Low, Stray Dog, Drunken Angel, Bad Sleep Well) that really gave Mifune a chance to show something other than the "Samurai" characters he played.
When you look at Kurosawa's library of films, you really begin to see how pathetic the modern crop is.
There isn't a Director around who could touch such a collection of work...
Rashomon
Seven Samurai
Ikiru
Ran
Kagemusha
Yojimbo
Sanjuro
Hidden Fortress
Throne of Blood
Stray Dog
Drunken Angel
High and Low
The Lower Depths
Red Beard
Bad Sleep Well
Etc...Kurosawa also wrote Runaway Train (unless it was a different guy) with Jon Voight and Eric Roberts, and dozens of others.
