“3 Bad Men”(1926) is considered an influence on Japanese director Akira Kurosawa’s “Three Bad Men in a Hidden Fortress”(1958)🇯🇵which in turn inspired George Lucas’s “Star Wars” series

Inspiration first for Star Wars and later for Phantom Menace, Kurosawa's grand western-flavoured samurai adventure #TheHiddenFortress earns the 4K BFI treatment.

If you've never seen it, you'd be shocked by how many similarities there are.

Scene from Dodgball with 2 actors who later joined Star Wars, Stephen Root and Alan Tudyk.

Watched #TheHiddenFortress 🎬

My first experience with Classic 50's Kurosawa.

"Star Wars" is basically a western remake of this film and one can tell from the many, many similarities.
It's insane how many extras are in this film. It's quite something else seeing it yourself. #filmsky
