The most memorable part of filming THE QUIETDUEL was the shooting of the climax scene.
The reason we could do a scene like the climax of THE QUIETDUEL and get so excited and involved in what we were doing is because Mifune, Sengoku and I were all young.
It is the recognition of this fact that makes THE QUIETDUEL a picture for which I feel a great nostalgia.
To satisfy the classic Marshmallow Duel players and UT fans alike, we are delivering Mowbray's Revenge in the form of several different game types.
Watch the Marshmallow Duel movie and you can see just what kindof repurcussions 10,000 volts of electricity can have on you when you are playing the game.
Invisibilty in the original Marshmallow Duel could be quite a gamble, sometimes it would make you invisible, and other times it would just make you blink.

It wasn't my first year being at Origins either; I had gone the three years before last year, and I was prepared, both with my deck and with my 'stuff', for a lack of a better term.
The first Duel Masters Tournament I played in had about 16 people, and that was probably the average for the few other "minor" tournaments I played in.
The next tournament I played against my friend in was the big Origins Duel Masters tournament, and I beat him, because I knew how to handle the deck, just like the judge.
The Quiet Duel on DVD (Screenhead)(Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
The QuietDuel, made in 1949, is one of Kurosawa's early films that is relatively unseen.
While The QuietDuel can be categorized with Kurosawa's other socially concerned films, looking beyond the narrative is a critique of Japanese manners, especially the custom of indirectly addressing a concern in conversation, as well as the misplaced sense of shame.
Even if certain aspects of the narrative are questionable, The QuietDuel shows Kurosawa under the influence of John Ford, William Wyler and especially Orson Welles, with an emphasis on depth of field cinematography.
With a second-placing in a Saratoga restricted N2X allowance at a mile and three-sixteenths on turf on August 12, Quiet Ruler was made the 3.25-to-1 second choice among 10 starters for Saratoga's fifth race on Saturday, a $46,000 restricted N2X allowance at a mile and a sixteenth on turf.
From there, it was a tough, close-order stretch duel, with Quiet Ruler making a late switch back to his left lead but still prevailing by half a length over 5-to-1 third choice Platinum Setting, who closed to edge out Motives by a neck.
Quiet Ruler's victory also qualified his breeder, Marlene Brody's Gallagher's Stud in Ghent, for a $2,760 breeder award.
Dennis Weaver, who is probably remembered most for his portrayal of cowboy sheriff Sam McCloud trapped in the filthy, disgusting mess of Lindsay-era New York on the '70s crime drama
, is adept at conveying a full range of emotion, from the quiet satisfaction of hurtling down the open road to the sheer panic of imminent death.
While his somewhat awkward voice and animated reactions can evoke more chuckles than goose bumps at times (from more immature viewers), his character is very believable and the audience can't help but share his puzzlement, fear, and elation.
There were only two movies I haven’t seen yet (and are due to be released on DVD later in September): The QuietDuel (1949), and Bushido 5 (2004).
The QuietDuel, on the other hand, is definitely worth watching!
Note, however, that the DVD may be one of those Chinese releases where the English subtitles are translated from a Chinese translation of the Japanese original.

Though not as powerful "The QuietDuel" does have some fine moments.
The play of light, the pounding rain storm, the purposefully annoying fan, and the haunting music give this intro stunning power and make the rest of the film rather pale in comparison.
Shimura's office in "Drunken Angel" and Mifune's office in "The QuietDuel" are almost identical.

No worries, I'll be out for some 10 days and will be right back to the duel.
Matias, for the first time I'll have to forfeit a duel.
I just can't give it the dedication and time you deserve it to have.

Underground (1995) — I netflixed this merely because it won best film at Cannes in 1995.
The QuietDuel (1949) —; Akira Kurosawa’s non-samurai stories are always fascinating to me. The QuietDuel is about the trials of a doctor who contracts syphillus from a patient during war-time surgery.
It is well done and speaks to the aftermath of war.

THE QUIETDUEL was the only film directed by Akira Kurosawa with music by Akira Ifukube (Godzilla).
Until this DVD release, it was also the only Kurosawa title that I did not have in some form, and I'm pleased to report that, while not in the league of IKIRU or SEVEN SAMURAI, THE QUIETDUEL is still well worth seeing, and a must for all devotees of the great Toshiro Mifune.
