I checked out the Bluray of Hell in the Pacific from the library last year. Ok movie, but I really want to buy the disc so that I can revisit the special features with the Boorman interviews where he tells these kinds of stories about Mifune. Priceless stuff, better than the film.

Yes, great idea! Thanks.

Great story.

😀Really recommend Boorman’s autobiographies particularly Suburban Boy.

All of John Boorman’s autobiography is terrific, especially the section on making Point Blank. Which Marvin made him reimagine.

You know the one Roger Ebert use to tell about the dog and the underwear?

Nope!

Ebert told the story on Letterman or somesuch, the resulting piece in Esquire was called “Who’s gonna get me a beer?”

Might be a Mandela effect but I could swear I've seen him tell this anecdote in an interview, with the added final line of him replying 'Is that a crime?'

Funny either way
