Sukiyaki Western Django is a 2007 surreal pseudo-Western directed by acclaimed Japanese director Takashi Miike, maker of such films as Ichi the Killer, Dead or Alive, and the original version of One Missed Call. Sukiyaki Western Django is an ultra violent and bizarre tale of warring factions in a "western town", rife with gunslingers and warring clans. Technically a remake of Kurosawa's samurai classic Yojimbo, except with a weird mix of historical (and modern punk) Japanese styles and weapons and late 19th century American West designs and firearms.
The following weapons were used in the film Sukiyaki Western Django:
Remington 1866 Derringer used by The Gunman (hidden in the sleeve, with drawer slide arm mount like in Taxi Driver) as a final argument in gun versus sword fight.
The rifles held by some Minamoto no Yoshitsune's men appear to be Mauser M1871/84 models converted in appearance to appear as the earlier period appropriate (1877) single-shot Mauser Model 1871's.
