1* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: The score by Kurosawa's regular composer Masaru Satō.
2* CommonKnowledge: The film's inspiration for ''Franchise/StarWars'' has been quite overblown, until most people who haven't seen it get the impression that ''Film/ANewHope'' simply transplanted its whole story into a science fiction setting. In fact, its major inspiration was simply the concept of telling an epic war story from the viewpoint of two nobodies wandering through it (plus a shot of Leia in the same sleeping pose as the princess here).
3* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: The film was much more successful outside Japan than inside of it. In fact, the film is more well-known by Western audiences as one of the major influences of ''Franchise/StarWars'' (especially ''Film/ANewHope'' and ''Film/ThePhantomMenace'').
4* LoveToHate: The peasants, who are horrible people but very entertaining.
5* MoralEventHorizon: Tahei and Matashichi agreeing to rape Princess Yuki. Even worse, it's never brought up again, because they are distracted by a procession, and they [[KarmaHoudini are sent off with a bar of gold]].
