Just heard in the news that legendary actor Ken Takakura has died from malignant lymphoma.
RIP. I’ve only seen a few of his movies but I always liked him. I remember seeing Black Rain in the theater, and I saw The Yellow Handkerchief not too long ago.
Bummer. I really liked him in “The Yakuza”.
I saw “The Yakuza” back when it first came out (on the wave of kung-fu movies), and thought it was “okay”. But then recently, I watched it again, and there is a LOT more going on than just the action. Overall a really good movie, and good historical/period kind of story.
