This remake features Yuji Oda (Bayside Shakedown, Whiteout) in the title role of the scruffy ronin who helps a group of idealistic youths fight corruption.
Director Yoshimitsu Morita's previous films include Lost Paradise and The Family Game. "I always wanted to revive Sanjuro and make a film about him with today's actors and actresses in Japan." he has said.
