While the film is best known for its swordplay, the 16th Century Tanegashima Matchlock Musket is seen used in the film. Three Tanegechimas are used by the bandits against the Samurai. Kyuzo (Seiji Myaguchi) steals one to examine during a solo raid. Kikuchiyo (Toshiro Mifune) later abandons his post to steal another one. The bandit chief (Shinpei Takagi) uses the remaining one in the final raid.
