七人の侍
"Seven Samurai" was filmed during the same time as "Godzilla", and Tsuchiya would frequently leave the set of "Seven Samurai" to see "Godzilla" being filmed. In an interview, Tsuchiya said "Because I was doing "Seven Samurai" I couldn't appear in the first Godzilla. That's why I insisted they put me in the sequel." Tsuchiya's wish was granted and he appeared in a role in "Godzilla Raids Again".
