Yojimbo (1961)

No Quote for this film.

Akira Kurosawa told Toshirô Mifune that his character was like a wolf or a dog and told Tatsuya Nakadai that his character was like a snake. Inspired by this direction, Mifune came up with Sanjuro's trademark shoulder twitch, similar to the way a dog or wolf tries to get off fleas.
The massive amount of dust seen in the film being blown about the wind was actually imported by the truckload from an abandoned firing range. When the wind-machines started, it was nearly impossible for the actors to keep their eyes open because they were being engulfed in the dust. When Tatsuya Nakadai 's death scene, shot over the course of three days, with the combination of the fake blood and the blowing dust, made him break out in hives that lasted for weeks after filming.
Akira Kurosawa challenged his assistant directors to come up with an image for the film to let Sanjuro know he was entering a bad town. He shot down all of their ideas, since all of them had already been done. Kurosawa himself then came up with the idea of the dog carrying the human hand.
