The character names and place names in the movie 47 Ronin are largely based on the 47 Ronin legend (including "delicious"), except Keanu Reeves's part. Keanu's part, the demons, and the witchcraft are entirely fabricated.

I didn't mention it yesterday but I was pretty sure the legend was referenced in the totally sweet Robert De Niro movie Ronin. Yep.
