    Reception and influence


    Samurai I won the 1955 Academy
    Award for Best Foreign Language
    Film.

    In a review almost 60 years after the


    release of the trilogy, the late
    academic and film critic Stephen
    Prince noted "the absence of gore"
    in the films: "Severed limbs and
    spurting arteries hadn’t yet arrived
    as a movie convention, and the
    fights in The Samurai Trilogy are
    relatively chaste, not showing the
    carnage that such duels would have
    actually resulted in."[1]

    The trilogy became an influence for


    future films.
