Member ShawAngela Posted March 18, 2020 Member Share Posted March 18, 2020 I don't remember which movie in which he played I recently watched, but I noticed that he was credited as Akira Kurata, which surprised me a little bit... Ah, yes, I think that it was in Four riders, if I'm not mistaken. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member ShawAngela Posted March 18, 2020 Member Share Posted March 18, 2020 Thanks for confirming. By the way, there is something that disturbs me a little bit in this movie : who are supposed to be the four guys who walk in the snow at the beginning of the movie (since the four friends meet later in the movie) and at the end ? Is it supposed to be a kind of allegory meaning that they meet again in Paradise (at least at the end of the movie) after their deaths, and if so, what is the meaning at the beginning of the movie ? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member panku Posted March 18, 2020 Member Share Posted March 18, 2020 I always thought since the title of the film was Four Riders that they were meant to represent the four horsemen of the apocalypse. I don't know if the beginning scene is meant to be taken literally. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think so. There were DVD sets with selected episodes, but that was almost 20 years ago. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were pretty pricey from what I recall?, or maybe I was a bit late in discovering them and the sets had gone up in value?. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Japanese releases are always pricey. Most of them are still in print, but some have gone OOP so yeah, those would have gone up, but most were expensive from the start. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
