• Fig. 4.22. Suzuki as Kurosawa: fighting men pour into the receding street from directly behind or beside the camera, recalling the deep-focus framing of the destruction of the brewery in Yōjinbo (Tōhō 1961). The superfluous combatant on the top of the set memorializes Mifune Toshirō perching on the water tower in the earlier film.
