Sanjuro behind the scenes gags

Toshirô Mifune has worked with 16 out of 31 films directed by Wind Man.
In May 2005, Kadokawa Haruki Productions acquired the copyrights of the two works "Tsubaki Saniro" and "Intentional Stick". The remake was completed in 2006 and was released in 2007.
The main character in the film was originally not called Tsubaki Sanjuro. He was a very ordinary swordsman. He relied on his wisdom to defeat the enemy instead of superb swordsmanship.
Wind Man wanted to use color photography to shoot the red color of camellia in black and white films, and even had to postpone the shooting in order to collect enough camellia.
Toshirô Mifune protected nine samurai scenes for the first time. The wooden sword was broken several times, and the actors were forced to take off their hardwood protective armor.
Sound Effect In order to express the sound of a sword piercing into the bone, Ichiro Misawa threw a raw chicken fiercely with a knife on the spot to show the sound of the sword coming into contact with the human body.
In the final duel, because of the use of blood plasma, the onlookers thought that the actor was really stabbed, their faces pale and very nervous, and Chang Ji screamed .

cool. It's a good balance between the audience's interesting and own ideas, and the last knife and blood is unexpected. The photography is awesome, and the ancient buildings in Japan are very well photographed. There was also the scene where the crowd suddenly froze when they were cheering, the soundtrack sounded, and the crowd danced silently, which was very impressive.
