Akira Kurosawa's films had a big impact on cinema, and the movie Yojimbo spawned a lengthy series of remakes and copies, like the Star Wars franchise.
Akira Kurosawa's legendary samurai film Yojimbo not only influenced the direction of cinema in general, but it also inspired a host of remakes and homages. Released in 1961 to immediate critical praise, the film incorporated elements of the western genre and infused it with a specifically Japanese twist. Besides being considered one of Kurosawa's best films, Yojimbo's legacy grew over the decades, and is considered one of TIME's best movies of all time, among other accolades.
Django The essential films of the spaghetti western genre very quickly took things to the extreme as the 1960s wore on, and 1966's Django was director Sergio Corbucci's own dark take on Yojimbo and A Fistful of Dollars as well. Set on the US/Mexican border in the wake of the Civil War, the film followed the titular character as he played both sides of a complicated conflict between the Ku Klux Klan and Mexican revolutionaries.
Last Man Standing Unlike all the films that came before, 1996's Last Man Standing actually credited Yojimbo as a source, and was an official remake of the classic film. The movie concerned a hired gun during the Prohibition era who found himself working for both sides of a bloody turf war between the Irish and Italian mafias in a small Texas border town.
