    Well, it says 7 discs, over 20 hours.

    You might be able to find it cheaper, that's just the first one I came across. Looks like there is a second box set available also.

    Toshiro Mifune is a great actor! And Akira Kurosawa is simply brilliant! I highly recommend any Kurosawa film.

    "Yojimbo" was mentioned, and is a great movie. As is "The Seven Samurai". Seven samurai is a long movie. Four hours I think. But it is a masterpiece.

    One can find some of these series online for purchase. Let's not discuss any dodgy methods of obtaining stuff.

    I would advise extreme caution when buying Kurosawa films online from Ebay or similar - especially boxed collections. Looking at those versions they seem to be the "English/Chinese" subtitled releases - which are notorious for the poor quality translations of the English subtitles.

    Good advice!

    The only plus that the above 33 DVD set may have is that for under 70 dollars you will get to watch the movies, poor translations or not.

    I only have Ran, Seven Samurai, and the Shogun series, that together cost me twice that much…

    I've seen a lot of his movies, but I only own "Yojimbo". Which is a great movie to anyone interested. It was the first Kurosawa film I ever say, and it's just very entertaining.

    The main character, Sanjuro, played by Toshiro Mifune, is a very interesting character. Having come to a town afflicted with crime, he has a daring solution to defeat both gangs that plague the town. XD

    It's a really good story, and Toshiro Mifune is a great actor.
