The following firearms were used in the film Yojimbo:
Yojimbo is a Japanese samurai movie starring Toshiro Mifune and Tatsuya Nakadai, directed by Akira Kurosawa. It notably features only one gun, which plays an important role in the hands of Nakadai.
It was remade many times: A Fistful of Dollars, Django, Last Man Standing, Lucky Number Slevin, Sukiyaki Western Django, and Inferno are the most well-known. Though Kurosawa sued Leone (director of A Fistful of Dollars) for plagiarism (Kurosawa won and was a producer of the Japanese release), Yojimbo itself is unofficialy based on Dashiell Hammett's noir novel "Red Harvest."
Smith & Wesson Model 2
Unosuke the gunfighter (Tatsuya Nakadai) carrys a Smith & Wesson Model 2 under his clothes and uses it in what may be the most memorable sword-vs-gun fight ever seen. (This inspired a similar moment at the end of Walter Hill's movie The Warriors, which featured a knife vs. a gun.)
