The initial US release ran only 75 minutes, 35 minutes shorter than the original version at 110 minutes.
Some US releases add English credits, titling the film YOJIMBO - THE BODYGUARD, as well as a brief text prologue explaining the time period the film takes place in. This text comes on right after Kurosawa's directing credit.
