This is a companion piece to Kurosawa's Yojimbo, starring a similar rohan and with a similar plot. Although I prefer the deeper seriousness of Yojimbo, the light comedy of this film makes it one of Kurosawa's most accessible. Mifune's nonchalant samurai is a memorable character, as is the climactic, but brief, final duel.

Even more lighthearted than its companion piece, Yojimbo, Sanjuro is none-the-less a great action/comedy from Akira Kurosawa. Mifune once again portrays the scruffy wandering samurai.
