    • Trivia
      Commodore Perry introduces the Colt Peacemaker as a 'single action revolver'. Being that it's 1855 and double action revolvers wouldn't be invented until 1889 there wouldn't be mention of single vs' double action yet.
    • Goofs
      The opening scene has Commodore Perry present the Shogun's chief minister with a brace of Colt Model P (popularly called the Peacemaker) revolvers. The Model P and its accompanying .45 Colt cartridge weren't introduced until 1873, 18 years after the events depicted in the film.

    One day the Samurai decide to go out on a healthy run... what could go wrong...
    I pretty much enjoyed this flick. It was a pretty simple story, bunch of ppl wanted to go on a healthy run, they all have their reasons, the local Lord wants everyone to be at peak physical condition after seeing the incoming westerners and their weapons, promises the winner a gift/request of their choice. Then drama. Especially that last half hour when the stakes get high and the direction gets intense. As a film its pretty engaging, as a Samurai film not like Blade of the Immortal level of swordplay, the characters feel pretty tragic and likeable. I give it my 9/10 because 6 is way too low, 8 is more accurate.
