Seven Samurai
Revision as of 15:05, 13 January 2011 by A Shootist (talk | contribs)
The following guns were used in the film Seven Samurai
A classic Akira Kurosawa film about seven samurai hired to defend a village from bandits. It was remade as The Magnificent Seven and is an influence on other ensemble films such as The Dirty Dozen and Ocean's Eleven
16th Century Tanegashima Matchlock Musket Three Tanegechimas are owned by the bandits against the samurai. Kyuzo(Seiji Myaguchi) steals one during a solo raid, for them to examine. Kikuchiyo(Toshiro Mifune) later abandons his post to steal another one. The bandit chief(Shinpei Takagi) uses the remaining one in the final raid.

A Tanegashima similar to what was used. These weapons were influenced more by muskets from South Asia than Europe.
