Editing Seven Samurai (section)

===Home media===
Prior to the advent of DVD, various edited versions were distributed on video, but most DVDs and Blu-rays contain Kurosawa's complete original version, including its five-minute intermission. Since 2006, the [[The Criterion Collection|Criterion Collection]]'s US releases have featured their own exclusive 2K restoration, whereas most others, including all non-US Blu-rays, have an older HD transfer from [[Toho]] in Japan.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://dvdcompare.net/comparisons/film.php?fid=211|title=Seven Samurai DVD comparison|publisher=DVDCompare|access-date=October 27, 2019|archive-date=March 1, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200301145950/http://www.dvdcompare.net/comparisons/film.php?fid=211|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://dvdcompare.net/comparisons/film.php?fid=16834|title=Seven Samurai Blu-ray comparison|publisher=DVDCompare|access-date=October 27, 2019|archive-date=November 3, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191103112703/http://www.dvdcompare.net/comparisons/film.php?fid=16834|url-status=live}}</ref>
