In Reply to: Exactly my thought during this movie. posted by grantv on July 14, 2005 at 12:17:18:
there really was a "foreign" samurai, but he was an Englishman, not the Civil War veteran Tom Cruise portrays
Japanese warlords used Dutch mercenaries in some of their campaigns too
Unimpressed with this film, but I did like Tom Cruise in Michael Mann's "Collateral"Grins
