Goofs

Factual errors: At the very beginning of the film the Akashi Clan house elder Zusho Mumiya commits seppuku. This 'cutting of the belly' leads to severe internal (and external) hemorrhage and hypovolemic shock. In the scene, the straining actor's neck (jugular) veins are prominent and distended suggesting good circulating blood volumes, inconsistent with hypovolemia. See more »

Quotes

Hanbei Kitou: Who are you? You're no samurai.
Koyata: So what? Do only samurai matter in this world? I thought samurai would be fun but you bore me. You're useless, even more useless in great numbers.
Lord Naritsugu Matsudaira: [stabs him] This man speaks the truth. His reward is my short sword.
