      The Ashigaru (foot-soldiers) all wore Mempo (face masks). Mempo were only worn by samurai (and not even then by ALL samurai), who were all mounted. The reason for this is because pretty much all of the Ashigaru were played by Canadians, and the Mempo hid this fact.

    Great Movie
    This was my very first taste of Japanese movie.

    I enjoyed it very much. Though I have very little understanding of the history, it helped me understand a fasanating period in Japan. I love the scenery and the visual battle scenes.

    -I dont hold the movie in contempt to history as much as I hold Braveheart to it. So what if it meanders from the hostorical facts, so does a lot of movies and myths we know of.

    -If you like this period and computer games, I suggest you check out Shogun Total War on the PC gaming section.

    This is one of my favorite movies and battle scenes that compares to Gladiator. I also like another Japanese film, "Shall We Dance", a lighter side of Japanese filming.
