I always loved this movie!! and it was such a fantastic confluence of cultures between the Samaurai and the 'cowboy'/gunfighter of the west. When I first became interested in the actual levels of sword use by American Indians, and seeing that katana in Red Cloud's possession this movie was my first thought.
