	Yojimbo Movie Review at Hollywood Video
		Yojimbo was originally shot in super-wide 2.55:1, as evidenced by the cut-off opening credits and the film's trailer, which is shown with titles uncropped and the frame pushed down slightly from the screen's center.
		Yojimbo's box also assures us that it was "created from a 35mm composite fine-grain master." One wouldn't guess from the jumping frames and deep scratches of the opening credits and blemishes on several scenes, though the specks soon die down and the viewer is treated to a rich range of grays and shadows.
		Yojimbo's image quality surpasses that of the previous Kurosawa Criterion disc, Seven Samurai: From the tiny leaves fluttering in the wind as he first confronts Ushitora's henchmen to the pile of severed body parts he leaves behind, Sanjuro's harsh realm is shown with a clarity unseen since the '60s.

	Yojimbo (1961)
		Toshiro Mifune's character of Sanjuro is fine-tuned to the point where a simple shrug or mannerism conveys deep, consequential meaning to the overall drama of the story.
		In my opinion, "Yojimbo" has to be the most influential action film to be crafted within the past 4 decades.
		"Yojimbo" truly is the cinematic template for all the action films released in the past 4 decades.

	Review: Yojimbo
		Yojimbo was made at the end of Kurosawa's most fruitful period of movie-making.
		Fittingly, a mere three years later, Yojimbo was remade for more widespread Western consumption by Sergio Leone as A Fistful of Dollars, the movie that introduced the world to the "Spaghetti Western" and made Clint Eastwood into a star.
		Yojimbo does not cause viewers to ponder deep issues in the way Rashomon does, nor does it possess the epic grandness of The Seven Samurai, yet it must still be considered in the top tier of Kurosawa's films.

		Yojimbo (ç”¨å¿æ£’) is a 1961 jidaigeki film by Akira Kurosawa, in which a ronin, portrayed by Toshiro Mifune, arrives at a small town with competing crime lords making their money from gambling, and convinces each crime lord to hire him as protection from the other.
		Yojimbo was later remade as A Fistful of Dollars, a spaghetti western directed by Sergio Leone and starring Clint Eastwood; Youth of the Beast, a modern Japanese yakuza crime movie directed by Seijun Suzuki and starring Shishido Jo; and remade, yet again, in a 20th century "gangster" genre, as Last Man Standing, starring Bruce Willis.
		Yojimbo created a new type of onscreen antihero in which the hero is seen as dirty and lacking manners instead of the typical clean-cut hero.

	Review on Yojimbo by gurusmaran - MouthShut.com
		Yojimbo (aka The Bodyguard), released in 1961, is based on the Dashiell Hammett novel Red Desert.
		Yojimbo, which inspired Sergio Leone’s A Fistful of Dollars and more recently the Bruce Willis starrer Last Man Standing, is darkly humorous and full of sharp wit, keeping you entertained from first frame to last.
		The visual style of this movie is outstanding, with images of empty streets, a lone warrior and a lot of dust flying about, a clear influence of the American Western.

	Yojimbo (1961)
		Yojimbo is a triumph of realisation for Akira Kurosawa, both in its direction and script.
		Technically, Yojimbo is fully under the control of Kurosawa, in everything from spatial positioning of the on-screen figures to the incidental sound effects.
		Yojimbo is a truly memorable creation which partially explains how it crosses cultural borders so successfully, appealing to universal themes.

	MovieMartyr.com - Yojimbo
		Yojimbo is a purposely-inflated satiric comedy that takes to task the capitalist motives that sprang up with emergence of a middle class in Japan.
		In Yojimbo, two warring clans of thugs are fighting for control of the gambling trade, and each of them is eager to recruit Sanjuro’s services as a samurai so that they might gain the upper hand in their impending clash.
		The satiric power of the movie suffers whenever it creates a hallowed place for his character and places his accountability outside of the same realm as everyone else’s.

		Yojimbo 用心棒 is a 1961 film by Akira Kurosawa, in which a ronin, portrayed by Toshiro Mifune, arrives at a small town with competing crime lords making their money from gambling, and convinces each crime lord to hire him as protection from the other.
		The plot of Yojimbo is actually much closer to another Hammett novel, Red Harvest, a fact which has led to many unsubstantiated rumors that Red Harvest was the real inspiration.
		Many of the characters and events in the series are analogous to characters and events in Yojimbo, but additional subplots and characters were added in order to sustain it as a twenty-five episode TV series and to distinguish itself from Akira Kurosawa's film.

	yojimbo - movie and tv vault reviews at videovista.net
		Yojimbo (trans: 'The Bodyguard') is an outstanding classic of the samurai genre, and Mifune plays the heroic 'ronin' of the title with such deadpan chutzpah he could probably have liposuction on his balls - and not lose an ounce of his character's arrogant machismo.
		"It'll hurt..." And yet the brutality and carnage of Yojimbo is never disturbing, because the script's macabre sense of humour, and Akira Kurosawa's highly proficient direction, are constantly surprising us with amusingly original twists on the long established conventions of America's wild westerns.
		Digitally mastered by BFI from a new print, featuring a commentary by Philip Kemp, text biographies of director and star, plus (helpful for those without widescreen TV) an option to put English subtitles outside frame of the picture - so the film's magnificent fl and white cinematography can be enjoyed to the full.

		In "Yojimbo" (1961), director Akira Kurosawa combines the samurai story with the Western, so that the main street could be in any frontier town, the samurai could be a gunslinger, and the locals could have been lifted from John Ford's stock company.
		He was deliberately combining the samurai story with the Western, so that the wind-swept main street could be in any frontier town, the samurai (Toshiro Mifune) could be a gunslinger, and the local characters could have been lifted from John Ford's gallery of supporting actors.
		Richie believes "Yojimbo" is the best-photographed of Kurosawa's films (by Kazuo Miyagawa, who also shot "Rashomon" and such other Japanese classics as Ozu's "Floating Weeds" and Mizoguchi's "Ugetsu").

	dOc DVD Review: Yojimbo / Sanjuro (1961-2)
		Kurosawa's existential meditations are articulated more clearly in some of his other films, but nowhere else are they dramatized with the swift, severe action of these movies—it's almost as if the director himself wishes to be judged by the samurai code, for he is a man we understand not by his words but his deeds.
		As with other Kurosawa samurai pictures, this one is set in a period where the law is an afterthought, a centralized government still generations away—it's a Hobbesian world in which things can be nasty, brutish and short, and it pays to have a way with the sword.
		The final showdown is brief but particularly graphic here, featuring an arterial spray that lashes out with the full fury of a firehose having at a five-alarm job—it's both comical and gruesome, and as the film's penultimate image may be the one that stays with you.

		The DVD edition of Yojimbo is not Criterion's finest hour, although they have a good defense in that it came early in the DVD years, before the company fully defined their standards.
		In many cases, especially all those popular monster movies of the '50s and '60s, the licensing contracts are so dusty that it's not worth the effort to reassert rights that lawyers say have now reverted entirely back to Toho.

		This indicator occurs in Yojimbo when the ronin walks into the barren town and is greeted by a dog carrying a human hand in its mouth, obviously having just scavenged its supper.

		In the case of the final standoff in Yojimbo, all the posturing and glaring between gangs appears to be used to indicate how removed from samurai these gangsters are.
		Yojimbo tells the tale of a Ronin, Sanjuro (Mifune) who comes into a town ruled by two mobs of gangsters.
		Most film makers would kill to have the depth in their movies that Yojimbo does, which I think is one of the defining characteristics of a Kurosawa film.

		In movie all of my information from the old powerbook to the new MacBook Pro, I finally hit critical mass with Yojimbo, and crossed the line from "just evaluating" to "wow, I don't know how I would survive without this program."

		Yojimbo is the tale of a lone samurai named Sanjuro, who wonders into a villaige looking for a place to eat.
		Once there he discovers that the village is not prospering because the majority of villagers are spending their whole time in one of the 2 gambling dens found in the village.
		Sato actually has a relatively small filmography next to his name, and yet on the strength of this film I would have to assume that it is not due to a lack of talent, but more likely due to a lot of time being spent crafting his scores.
