| Sukiyaki Western Django (2007) | Yoshino Kimura, Kaori Momoi (cigar) "Kimura smokes well several times before her dramatic death halfway through this wild Japanese western. Choppy editing tends to interrupt most of her inhales and exhales, but there are several of each, presented in ways that seemed designed to reflect her sensuality. Momoi smokes cigars throughout. She doesn't inhale them, but generates a lot of smoke and wields her short stubby cigars in a style that fits her tough veteran gunslinger character. In the behind the scenes footage, Momoi is shown holding an unlit cigarette in a candid moment and smoking while doing some kind of voiceover dubbing in a recording studio, including a bit of a talking exhale, albeit from a wide and somewhat rear angle. "[Momoi] She smokes a cigar through most of the film. Beautifully done"
