What's left behind the scenes
- The original title of the film translates to "Shadow Warrior".
- When it became clear that the Toho studio was unable to provide the budget required for filming, Akira Kurosawa (1920-1998) was helped by George Lucas and Francis Ford Coppola. In July 1978, Kurosawa was in San Francisco, where he met Lucas and Coppola. They persuaded the management of The 20th Century-Fox, on the wave of the success of Lucas’s film "Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope" (1977), to finance Kurosawa. The film company agreed in exchange for worldwide distribution rights to the future film outside of Japan. This was the first case where the distribution rights to a Japanese film were sold to Hollywood even before filming began.
- Hundreds of horses and thousands of extras were used in the battle scenes. According to Lucas, the final battle (the battle near Nagashino Castle in 1575) involved 5,000 extras.
- Filming lasted 9 months, including almost 2 months for the final battle scenes, which took place on the island of Hokkaido.
- 200 specially trained horses were delivered from the USA by plane. Many of the riders were women.
