What's left behind the scenes
- Sergio Leone's Spaghetti Western "A Fistful of Dollars" (1964) repeats the plot of "Yojimbo." In addition to the plot, Leone borrowed many filming techniques from Kurosawa. As a result of a copyright infringement lawsuit, the creators of the unofficial remake were forced to pay Kurosawa $100,000 and 15% of the film's box office revenue, as well as cede distribution rights in Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan.
- The film "Lone Wolf" starring Bruce Willis also repeats the plot of "Yojimbo," but is adapted as a gangster action film set during Prohibition.
- The main character's name means: Kuwabatake – "Mulberry Garden [by the cotton field],” Sanjuro – "thirty-year-old.” The common misinterpretation of Kuwabatake as "cotton field" comes from the fact that in the film, when asked to introduce himself, the main character names himself Kuwabatake while looking at an empty cotton field. There are no mulberry trees in the frame. However, they are implied, as cotton fields are traditionally planted with mulberry trees around the perimeter, whose leaves serve as food for silkworms.
- The film's plot is an adaptation of two detective novels by Dashiell Hammett: "The Glass Key" (1931) and "Red Harvest" (1929).
