Young Sir Ranulph Fiennes
“On June 27, before the actors arrived, Sir Ranulph Twisleton-Wykeham-Fiennes, a twenty-two-year-old baronet, and another man were arrested for trying to set fire to an outhouse with a can of gasoline and blow up the sandbag dam. His goal, he announced, was to stop "mass entertainment from riding roughshod over the feelings of the people."(Fiennes, a distant cousin of the actor Ralph Fiennes, later became a well-known explorer and writer and was briefly considered as a possible replacement for Sean Connery when Connery quit the James Bond series in 1967)”

Kurosawa was short-tempered when it came to one aspect of the pro-duction: the camellias. Everyone, including the director, worked hard to make them look just right. "All of the camellias in the film were man-made, not real," Muraki explained, "and the leaves were not real camellia leaves. If we had used camellia leaves with the fake flowers the leaves would have [photographed] unnaturally old. Instead, we used leaves of the sakai plant, and the crew changed the leaves every morning before shooting"Akira Kubo, who plays one of the inept samurai, fondly remembered, "Kurosawa] wasn't a good businessman, and with Yojimbo and Sanjuro he said, 'Okay, I'm going to make some fun movies, though even here he didn't compromise. It was a great learning experience. It was an honors? Shooting moved outdoors on November 1, to exteriors of the back yard, Mifune's battle outside the shrine (also filmed in Gotemba), and exteriors of the Tsubaki mansion. In mid-December came Mifune's duel with Nakadai. The assistant who operated the pressure cooker-like controls that sprayed fake blood from Nakadai's chest was extremely nervous about get ting it right on the first take. He continued building up pressure so that, when the cameras rolled, the blood burst out like cannon fire, delighting Kurosawa.
