Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
James Shigeta, who plays the samurai mentor, was a groundbreaking Asian-American leading man in 1960s Hollywood—decades before this TV movie sidelined him to 'wise elder' duty.
This was part of NBC's 1979 push for 'high-concept' TV movies, most of which died quietly; Samurai somehow got a theatrical release in some international markets, presumably as a prank.
