What if both men met each other before their deaths in the '70s? Maybe in co-starring roles in a movie? How would that affect iconic images of Asia?
That would make a great movie! "The Warrior vs. the Samurai Obsessive"So you're saying they would have a duel??

Unfortunately, I can't see a movie being made between the two. An actual fight on the streets is more likely, ending with Bruce doing an Indie on Yukio.
Yukio Mishima was insane. He was driven nuts from being in the closet during a very bad period of personal development which forced his misdirected feelings of overt machismo into an abiding love of fascism. Horrible, horrid man.So you're saying they would have a duel??
-doh-

Lee would have wiped the floor with him, besides.
I'm not so sure he was a genuine true believer. There's a not unconvincing argument that his half-added coup attempt was really just an elaborate form of performance art.
Don't ge me wrong, he definitely was a few prawns short of a galaxy, but I wouldn't go so far as to call him a fascist.
He definitely had a few screws loose, yeah. After all, this was the man who pissed off his fellow nationalists by demanding the emperor's abdication for his surrender proclamation. That, and him being so deep in the closet he was next door. Not to mention, the JGSDF men who had to hear his speech simply booed him off. It's hard not to think that his coup attempt was just an excuse to perform some bizarre ritual-suicide-slash-live-performance.
