Goofs

Factual errors: At the very beginning of the film the Akashi Clan house elder Zusho Mumiya commits seppuku. This 'cutting of the belly' leads to severe internal (and external) hemorrhage and hypovolemic shock. In the scene, the straining actor's neck (jugular) veins are prominent and distended suggesting good circulating blood volumes, inconsistent with hypovolemia. See more »

Quotes

Lord Naritsugu Matsudaira: [after being stabbed by Shinzaemon Shimada's sword] It hurts.
