This week, I am running five mystery movies, one per day with multiple images. And today, we have a mystery samurai movie!

Update: This is indeed a toughie. Benito has identified the mystery gent in images No. 4 and 8.

    Koji Tsuruta in 4 and 8. Best known as Toshiro Mifune’s elegant opponent in the Samurai Trilogy.

    Could it be the Japanese ‘Citizen Kane’, ‘Roshomon’?

    Of course Benito identified him. You don’t even want to know how many samurai movies I’ve endured and actually, in some cases, enjoyed. At least the violence and blood are highly stylized.
