‘Ran’ by Akira Kurosawa used approximately 1400 extras and 200 horses. 1400 suits of armor (designed by Kurosawa himself) were fabricated and a number of the horses had to be imported. Kurosawa used the extras and horses so efficiently that when the film was ready for premiere, newspapers in Japan were reporting that thousands of extras and horses were used to stage the battles. 🎞️
