But one film by Kurosawa, I believe it was by Kurosawa, that was not about the Samurai era but show the Samurai spirit, Budo (not in the technical sense), and Bushido is "Brothers", starring "Beat" Takeshi. It's about a Yakuza ("Beat" Takeshi) that went to America for revenge, I believe. I need to find that movie again... It's really cool.
Hi Thalib,

Kitano 'Beat' Takeshi wrote and directed the film as well as starring in it. I dont think there's any connection with Akira Kurosawa at all. You're absolutely right though, its a wonderful film, definitely my favourite gangster film of all time.
