Yojimbo is a Japanese samurai movie starring Toshirô 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."
The following weapons were used in the film ':
Smith & Wesson Model 2
