Also the OG film that started the cliche of training the townspeople with pointy sticks and adding pointy stick to the towns perimeter in a remarkably short timespan.
So they need 7 samurai and a bunch or pointy things.
Three samurai?

Let this be the hour when we draw (curved) swords together.
Turns out they needed six. One of them wasn’t actually a samurai.
The original title was Six Samurai, The Son Of A Farmer, And About 150 Of The Most Pathetic Human Beings Ever Conceived
the books are called Three Musketeers… it is about four musketeers :(
Did you know there’s a movie called The Fifth Musketeer? It stars the four classic musketeers, plus a guy who is at no point a musketeer.
Never heard of it,
Schools should invest more in maths, those people can barely count
The French have four-times-twenty-ten-nine problems, but counting ain’t one. That’s why their most read maths book is “The count of Monte Cristo”.
Au contraire! There is only a single isle of Monte Cristo in that book, and it’s over a thousand pages long, which means it took THAT LONG to count to 1.
“We need at least twice that many.”
They go out to confront the enemy
Enemy: “Six samurai? We can take them.”
a seventh samurai appears
Enemy: “Shit, we didn’t prepare for this.”
[off topic]
Preparing for the final battle, the least talented samurai comes up with a great trick. He makes a big pile of dirt in the middle of the town and puts all the captured swords in it. That way, if he loses his sword in the fight he’s got a spare close by.
How can you find a sword mid-battle in the dirt? Black and white dirt nonetheless!
One of the most famous movies ever made.
I’m sure you can find a copy somewhere.
