Best Sanjuro Collection Movies Ranked

Explore the best sanjuro collection movies ranked by Movie Rankings users. Our current #1 pick is Yojimbo. Browse 2 franchise titles in ranked order, with direct links to movie pages and matchup data.

The masterless samurai Sanjuro, who slyly manipulates two warring clans to his own advantage in a small, dusty village, was so entertainingly embodied by the brilliant Toshiro Mifune that it was only a matter of time before he returned in a sequel. Made just one year later, Sanjuro matches Yojimbo’s storytelling dexterity yet adds layers of world-weary pragmatism that brings the two films to a thrilling and unforgettable conclusion.
