Not one of Kurasawa's best but still a great film
“I do love Akira Kurasawa's movies, especially Seven Samurai, Ran, Ikiru, Rashomon, Yojimbo, The Hidden Fortress and Throne of Blood. Sanjuro(sequel to Yojimbo) is not quite on the same level, but it is a fine film regardless and perhaps alongside The Hidden Fortress Kurasawa's most accessible film. It is very well made, with beautiful and sometimes epic scenery and superb camera work. Kurasawa directs with his usual flair, not as delicate as Ikiru, haunting as Yojimbo or as ambitious as Ran, but still highly impressive.

"16.2. Blu-ray Uusintakatselu. Jatko-osan juonittelujen keskellä ei jostain syystä oikein jaksanutkaan kiinnostaa, kuin tappelut. Ne ovat mallikkaita, yllättäen."

"25.3. Mifunen pahaperseily hipoo täydellisyyttä, ellei ole jo sitä. Tarina on tyylikäs ja Kurosawan ote pitää. Muistutti taas siitä, kuinka noita vielä näkemättömiä pitäisi korkkailla ja noita jo nähtyjä mahdollisesti jopa uudelleenkatsella nyt vuosien jälkeen."

" Sanjûrô Tsubaki: He was just like me. A drawn sword that wouldn't stay in its sheath. But, you know, the lady was right. The best sword is kept in its sheath. You'd better stay in yours."

"10.5 Double featurena päälle vielä Yojimbon kevytmielisempi jatko-osa. Toimintaa ja huumoria on enemmän vastapainona Yojimbon synkemmille teemoille. Ihan yhtä toimiva pätkä tämäkin, eikä kumpikaan Sanjuron seikkailuista sulje toisiaan pois, satun vain pitämään ensimmäisen osan vakavammasta otteesta enemmän."
