In one scene, Toshiro Mifune is ordering a brand new car via telephone and is appalled when they say "New Yorker" and that "It must be an Imperial! No less!"
Scene cracked me up.

Actually, keeping in his usual style, this Kurosawa movie is a retelling of Shakespeare's Hamlet, set within the extremely capitalist post-war Japan during the economic boom.
Not very much action but its a good watch nonetheless.

Yes, even the highways were privatized and run for profit. Maybe not anymore?

I wish our highways were free like the North American freeways... :mad:

If anything, most highways were state run and had tolls but became privatized in the 2000s alongside the postal service (and the telephone service and national railways in the 80s)... with the toll booths in tact for at least another century.
