In this excerpt from a program on the Criterion Channel, the great Japanese actor recounts shooting his climactic face-off with Toshiro Mifune in Akira Kurosawa’s SANJURO.
I hope this guy lives to be a hundred. He is simply a professional. He was cast in almost all the classics and even had a crowd shot in “Seven Samurai”. Awesome and thank you for posting.

It's hard to believe that Nakadai is 90 years old in 2023. He has a vast filmography.

They did do preparations. Mifune was practicing his move and Nakadai practiced traditional pull and slice. But they didn't know what was choreographed.

They have too, considering the expenses of film making at that time that is why actors and actresses are very talented back then.

Its not as complex as you think. Back then movies were cheaply made and they had enough time to choreographed and rehearsed. Plus most actors in japan from that era, came from theater background. Thus they had immense amount of patience and discipline, so they never complained and did their work with dedication

He's got such a great face for a villainous character, but then in High & Low he also comes across as very kind and virtuous while trying to solve the crime

Personally, my favorite role of his was as Hanshiro in Harakiri: Nakadai was amazing in it!

He had played a wide range of characters, from white collar pacifist good guys to treacherous beardy villains. such a shame Nakadai never got enough recognition, he always got overshadowed by Mifune.
