Spaghetti Western Trivia ~ Tatsuya Nakadai – Samurai

When Tatsuya Nakadai signed to be in “Today We Kill, Tomorrow We Die” he had never ridden a horse. He showed up on the set a week earlier than required to learn the basics of horsemanship. It apparently didn’t help much as Brett Halsey relates when Nakadai and his gang are chasing the stagecoach he is out front and falls off his horse. Brett says he fell off his horse several times during filming. The true samurai he was he would just get up on the horses back and do the scene again.
