    • Trivia
      Toshirô Mifune entertained the cast and crew throughout the entire production with his refined culinary skills, bringing over a supply of Japanese meats, watercress, seaweed, and other ingredients. He would also exchange recipes for French and Italian dishes, including spaghetti.
    • Goofs
      When Link Stuart at the end is waiting for the train he looks at the train coming around the bend. Behind the train you can clearly (blu-ray) see a car driving along a road near the tracks.
    • Quotes

      Kuroda Jubie: Give me my clothes!

      Link Stuart: I'll give you your clothes, but first I want your word of honor that you won't kill Gauche on sight.

      Kuroda Jubie: My clothes!

      Link Stuart: Your word.

      Kuroda Jubie: [angrily speaks Japanese]

      Link Stuart: Don't know what the hell that's all about, but it sounds like it's comin' from the heart. Well?

      Kuroda Jubie: Give me five minutes with him.

      Link Stuart: Not enough.

      Kuroda Jubie: One hour. Give me one full hour.

      Link Stuart: I need one full day. Kuroda, I need the time to make Gauche take me to the cash. I wanna be sure it's there.

      Kuroda Jubie: No!

      Link Stuart: All right, you suit yourself.

      [Kuroda starts to shiver in the cold]

      Link Stuart: Turnin' blue. Won't be long you'll be nothing but a clump of ice. By nightfall you'll be frozen into the landscape, and you'll never avenge your friend or never get your sword. You're gonna end up in Japanese hell, a disgrace to your ancestors.

      Kuroda Jubie: You have my word, I will not kill the man until you say.

      Link Stuart: [smiles, gives him his clothes back] Don't take it so hard. I think you're one hell of a man.

      Kuroda Jubie: I think you are one son of a bitch.

    The inspiration for Shanghai Noon
    One thing's for sure, this is the only movie where you get to see a Samurai fight a Comanche. Charles Bronson plays an outlaw who robs a train. Among the passengers on the train is the ambassador of Japan and his samurai bodyguard, played by The Seven Samurai's Toshiro Mifune. When Bronson is double-crossed by one of the men in his gang, he teams up with the samurai to chase down the villain and get his revenge. If you think this sounds like a Jackie Chan/Owen Wilson movie, you're right on. Shanghai Noon was definitely a parody of this film. This is a very enjoyable, action-packed, unique western, but it definitely has some R-rated content. At the end of the day, it's hard to find a better Charles Bronson western. 4 out of 5 action rating
