“Show Me the Mifune”

Poster for Akira Kurosawa’s classic “The Seven Samurai.” What better way to pay tribute to a towering icon of Japanese cinema like Toshiro Mifune than with the hackiest, most groan-worthy pun imaginable?*

*I’ve heard Mifune pronounced several different ways. But the most commonly accepted version seems to be Me-foo-nay. That’s how Spielberg, Scorsese and John Milius say it. Who am I to argue?
