Wind Man described Toshirô Mifune's character as a wolf or dog, and Nakadai Tatsuya's character as a snake. As a result, Sanchuan developed the iconic action that likes to shake the shoulders, similar to the action of a wolf or a dog trying to shake off fleas.
The 1964 Western film "Red Dead Redemption" directed by Leonie was a remake of the film. However, the US version did not get Wind Man's permission, which also led to a lawsuit, making "Red Dead Redemption" hidden in the snow for three years before it was released. In 1966, Sergio Kobusi's western film "Ginger" was also inspired by "The Bodyguard".
Due to the success of "The Bodyguard", Wind Man used the same protagonist in "Tsubaki Sanjuro", both played by Toshirô Mifune. The protagonist's name is called "Sankuro", but he changed his surname to "Tsubaki" ——It happened to be a plant he saw in front of his eyes at the time
There is a scene in the film where Saniroro cuts down ten people in 10 seconds, and it is always on the run. Toshirô Mifune when shooting, hold your breath breath filmed the end of the breath, that had to lean in

The very characteristic rhythm successfully attracted my attention, and my eyes stretched forward along with the male protagonist. The sloppy and poor warrior, his witty and concise self-introduction gradually broadened his image. He was not very impressed but impressed. The actor's light-hearted performance mixed with a little self-deprecating performance made this plot icing on the cake. The male protagonist's temperament and wisdom can be seen in his exchanges and mediation with various small and big people. The appearance of the pistol man has changed the male protagonist's plan, and the plot's excitement has reached a new level. The unexpected challenge is the seasoning and the catalyst to further shape the image and character of each relevant character. From the joking mantra of making money by killing people at the beginning, to the act of loosing money and retire at the end, looking back on all kinds of things he came to this town, there was no stagnation, no thoughts, he seemed to be contradicting his identity as a samurai The hermit who completed an almost legendary adventure, will the town usher in a new life after saving it? It seems that this is not so important anymore. Putting the fate of the two to the end, the opening of his next stop has been left to people's infinite imagination.

There are no obscure plots, just a desolate town, a few oppressed but strong villagers, a ronin who has wandered so far as a righteous, powerful and full of wisdom, and two cute gangs who do evil but stupid in the town struggle between evil forces. Many of the techniques of Emperor Kurosawa have far-reaching influence on later generations. This film is also a fairly classic commercial film, and the image of the samurai of Mifune is eternal.

Sanjuro:
[standing by the window of Gonji's inn, looking into the opposite building where men from Ushitora and Seibei's sides are serving the inspector and his aides tea]
A country inspector's not much, but that's a fine-looking palanquin, huh?
[He turns to Gonji for a reaction. The tavern keeper doesn't turn around, and just stares gloomily at nothing. Sanjuro turns back to the spectacle. He bursts out laughing at what he sees]
Gonji, tavern keeper:
What's so funny?
Sanjuro:
His men are drinking tea.
Gonji, tavern keeper:
What of it?
Sanjuro:
Look here.
[He laughs again at the scene]
Sanjuro:
They've added a little something.
