- The film is the third collaboration between the veteran hero of the screenwriting world, Shinobu Hashimoto and Akira Kurosawa after the movie "Survival".
- In 1960, Kurosawa Akira's "Seven Samurai" was remade by John Sturges and named "Seven Noble Men". James Cowburn plays the flying knife cowboy, and the characters are directly drawn from the samurai swordsman of Akira Kurosawa.
- Due to a budget error in film shooting funds, Kurosawa had to find a new source of income. One of the options was to shoot a set of Japanese whiskey commercials. The shooting location was near his residence in Japan. He personally directed and played a guest role in it.
- "Seven Samurai" is the most expensive film shot by Toho Cinemas because the shooting time was four times the original plan. Kurosawa and his crew managed to complete the film, but Toho Cinema was on the verge of bankruptcy.

"We finally survived again." "This time it's a defeat, it's the peasants who won, not us" This is a monument in the history of movies, and it deserves to be the classic that inspired "One Piece". The peasants are very impressed. Despised, stingy, hypocritical, selfish, and snobbish, Kikuchiyo exposed the nature of farmers. Akira Kurosawa's description of the living conditions of the peasant class and his reflection on the Japanese social system and the spirit of Bushido are very profound. In the end, four of the seven samurai died, and at the end of the story, the peasants sang triumphantly, and that was their victory!

The degree of completion is high! After three and a half hours, there was not even a low tide, and the later "Kagemusha" and "Ran" were no better than this one. Each character has a very distinct personality, Shimura Joe is like a master of a lantern, Mifune Toshiro is like Wei Xiaobao, Long Burial is for Dugu to seek defeat, and Shengshiro is like Duan Yu... The only question is why Shimura Qiao looks like Zhang Fengyi after shaved his head? !

Kikuchiyo: Got a problem, gramps?
Gisaku: Nope. All's well now.

Kikuchiyo: You all make great scarecrows. Problem is, the enemy isn't a bunch of sparrows and crows!
