A Limited Edition Art Print (with art by Vania Zouravliov; 16/165; measures 18" x 24" [46 x 61 cm]) (Learn More) Kakushi Toride no San Akunin (released in the U.S. in 1960 as "Hidden Fortress"), the classic 1958 Akira Kurosawa Japanese samurai warrior adventure thriller (George Lucas "borrowed" the plot of the film to make "Star Wars"), starring Toshiro Mifune, Misa Uehara, Minoru Chiaki, Kamatari Fujiwara, Susumu Fujita, and Takashi Shimura. Note that this well regarded Akira Kurosawa Japanese movie surprisingly only received a limited first release in the U.S., and movie paper from that U.S. release is incredibly rare, for unknown reasons. It also apparently had a limited first release in all other English-speaking countries, again for unknown reasons. In 1984, perhaps because it had been the inspiration for "Star Wars" in 1977, an uncut version of the movie was released in the U.S., with the tagline "U.S. Premiere Uncut Version". This restored version was the full 139-minute original version (previously releases had between 15 minutes and 40 minutes cut). Everyone agrees the uncut version is a masterpiece!
