Query: Does the final death scene of Toshio Mifune, playing Lord
Washizu, in Kurosawa Akira's Throne of Blood (Kumonosujo 1957) quote a
particular previous Japanese samurai or chambara death, or does it
quote a particular western?
The question of the specific "bonny and clyde" -level overkill of
Mifune's character, assaulted by an almost cobweb of arrows was raised,
and I am not sure who has used it before and/or after Kurosawa's
landmark.
Thanks!
Cathy
