It was remade into a movie starring Bruce Willis a couple years ago, can't
recall the title, kinda forgettable, not a patch on the Kurosawa flick IMO,
nor Leone's. Cheers. (BTW watch Star Wars some time, then watch Kurosawa's
"Hidden Fortress," your jaw will drop. Similarities, anyone...?)

Hey, this is not responsive to the post, but are you aware of where
your
name came from? Did you ever see the movie "Yojimbo"?

Leonard


That movie is were Sergio Leone got the idea for "A Fistful of Dollars"
wich
also made Clint Eastwood an international star.


Yes indeed,

And it is a wonderful movie. I have great memories of the early '70s
when I was living in NYC and discovered Samurai movies. Some of the best
were by Akira Kurawasawa. They were like westerns but with all the
allure of a similar myth-world in a wonderfully different culture.

Yes it is a good movie. Me and my friends would watch all those old
Japanese
movies on Saturdays. They would run all morning. That's were I first saw
it.
A real classic.
