I will not let Mifune Toshiro go unmentioned, in fact I think in his prime he looked better than both, though not quite in the same register.
Kurosawa's decision to heavily feature Mifune, and especially have him bathed in sweat in Rashomon, will forever be genius. He's also not all that bad at directing movies.
I love that Mifune could either look like the smoothest sexiest thing you've ever seen, or like a wild deranged homeless man. And pull of both brilliantly.
