Rent The Shadow Warrior (1980)

Kagemusha

Shingen, a powerful warload, has become as legendary as the motto emblazoned on his war banners. "Swift as the wind, silent as the forest, fierce as the fire, immovable as the mountain." As he lies dying from his battle wounds. Shingen orders his clan to find a double to replace him - to keep his death secret so that his enemies will not attack. The man chosen for this role is called Kagemusha (the shadow warrior). However this Kagemusha turns out to be a petty criminal who must somehow transfer himself into a great leader and command allegiance of 25,000 samurai warriors...

The Shadow Warrior review by LB

This film is good but unfortunately not one of Akira Kurosawa's best. It is a bit too long and not as gripping as his films from the 50's and 60's, like yojimbo or seven samurai.
