The Hidden Fortress
Mifune may also be credited with originating the Yakuza archetype, with his performance as a mobster in Kurosawa's "Drunken Angel" (1948), the first Yakuza film. Most of the sixteen Kurosawa–Mifune films are considered cinema classics. These include "Drunken Angel", "Stray Dog", "Rashomon", "Seven Samurai", "The Hidden Fortress", "High and Low", "Throne of Blood" (an adaptation of Shakespeare's "Macbeth"), "Yojimbo", and "Sanjuro".
