Seven Saveloy

The We're Here challenge for today is on the theme of Japanese Cinema.

 

This is a still from 'Seven Saveloy' which was the ill-fated sausage remake of Akira Kurosawa's masterpiece 'Seven Samurai'. Sadly, it never got beyond concept stage and instead Hollywood remade Seven Samurai as the non-pork-based 'The Magnificent Seven'. Incidentally, in this photograph, the saveloy on the left is the James Coburn character, even though it actually looks more like Yul Brynner. In fact, they all look like Yul Brynner. Or perhaps it is fairer to say that Yul Brynner looked more like a sausage. There are rumours that 'Seven Saveloy' may finally be made for Netflix by Adam Sandler.
