- "Ran" is one of the most cost-effective and large-scale films in Japanese film history. It cost 2.4 billion yen and took more than 200 working days to complete the filming.
- In order to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the film’s release, in 2010, 35mm motion picture film will be used in art theaters throughout the United States to tour.
- In the scene that burned the city at the end of the film, the director deliberately transported extremely flammable wood from the United States to cover a city gate.
- In order to have a clear blue sky and a just right cloud, I waited for more than 180 days to burn down the million-dollar city gate.
- In Kurosawa Akira's previous work "Kagemusha", Nakadai Tatsuya, who was injured after falling from a horse, has been practicing riding horses for half a year in order to shoot "Ran", but the scene was actually shot only 3 seconds.

Kyoami: Are there no gods... no Buddha? If you exist, hear me. You are mischievous and cruel! Are you so bored up there you must crush us like ants? Is it such fun to see men weep?
Tango: Enough! Do not blaspheme! It is the gods who weep. They see us killing each other over and over since time began. They can't save us from ourselves.
