Note that this was done 52 years ago when the word "oriental" to describe a person and certain racist stereotypes were considered acceptable by mainstream society. Anyone who's fluent in Japanese and knows what the dialogue is in the following panels, if these are actual words, please say so in the comments (It might have been a way to get profanity by. That's not the first time anyone did that).
It's World War II and an American soldier (Lee Marvin) and a Japanese soldier (Toshiro Mifune) are both stranded on a Pacific island. The American initially just wants fresh water for his canteen.
When they first see each other they both imagine fighting the other.
Mifune sets fire to the jungle in an attempt to smoke Marvin out then makes him prisoner of war.
Same request of anyone who might be fluent in Hebrew as well.
They both torture each other but put aside their differences to build a raft to escape the island.
They find land where there's an abandoned Japanese military base that has plenty of requisitions for both of them and bond over a bottle of sake. When Mifune leafs through an old Life magazine and sees photos of Americans torturing Japanese he gets angry again.
In many communities, zoot suits and other fashions were banned during World War II for being to wasteful with fabric.
YouTube has the full feature uploaded if you can tolerate the brightness and cropping the uploader has used to get around copyright bots.
A-Z GUIDE TO MOVIES AND TV SHOWS PARODIED BY MAD, CRACKED, CRAZY, ETC. UP TO 1996. THEY HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS. SPOILERS AND OTHER NON-SEQUITURS, TOO. SOMETIMES THESE THINGS HAVE WORDS OR SITUATIONS WE DON'T USE ANYMORE. YOU KNOW, 'CAUSE THEY'RE OLD.
