- 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.

In addition to Rashomon, this is the second clearest work by Akira Kurosawa in memory. Even the imitated works of other countries have seen several movies. The degree of completion provides a new narrative classic motif followed by a large number of disciples and grandchildren. Of course, this motif itself is not created by him but has existed as early as in the novel.
