These three are basically the same movie:
title Yojimbo A Fistfull of Dollars Last Man Standing
dir Akira Kurosawa Sergio Leone Walter Hill
star Toshiro Mifune Clint Eastwood Bruce Willis
Yojimbo is an absolute classic, Fistfull is darn good in its own right,
but Last Man Standing really stank.
Seven Samurai was only remade as The Magnificent Seven. IMNSHO, Yul
Brenner was not fit to cary Takashi Shimura's spear. Not that
Magnificent Seven is a bad movie, just that it pales next to the
original. Seven Samurai is worth watching for the whole 203 minutes if
you can ever see the full version.
