Mifune and the other main actor in the film, Takashi Shimura, later became long-term collaborators of film director Akira Kurosawa. Context_2 : Despite the extraordinary acclaim that Akira Kurosawa's work has received both in Japan and abroad, his films, as well as Kurosawa as an individual, have also been subject to considerable criticism, much of it harsh. It should, however, be noted that, for many of the accusations leveled against the filmmaker's work or his personality that are cited here, commentators taking the contrary view in defense of the director — including Kurosawa himself — have also been cited.

Context_4 : Milton was a series of animated shorts created by Mike Judge in 1991. They aired on "Saturday Night Live" in the mid 1990s, and like Mike Judge's other early shorts, appeared on MTV's Liquid Television in the early 1990s. The 1999 film "Office Space" was based upon the cartoons, and featured actor Stephen Root in the role of Milton Waddams. In the cartoon shorts all voices are by Mike Judge. Although Milton was the title character from the shorts, the role was a supporting character in the "Office Space" movie, as was his boss, Bill Lumbergh (played by actor Gary Cole in "Office Space"). Milton traveled to different locations despite being consistently late for his taxis to take him there.

Film critic Donald Richie regarded him as the "humanist" among Kurosawa's writers. In 2013, Oguni and frequent screenwriting collaborators Kurosawa, Shinobu Hashimoto and Ryuzo Kikushima were awarded the Jean Renoir Award by the Writers Guild of America West. Context_7 : A.K. is a 1985 French documentary film directed by Chris Marker about the Japanese director Akira Kurosawa.

The film was screened in the Un Certain Regard section at the 1985 Cannes Film Festival.
