Lars N Oct 21 Much like Die Hard this has such an 'action movie blueprint'-feel to it. You can see why. It's entertaining from start to finish in ways most modern films can't bost. See more Julian Rex M @Julian_M Aug 31 A slickly framed classic of the samurai genre, Yojimbo may not reach the emotional and narrative heights of Kurosawa's greater masterpieces, but its slickly choreographed action scenes and lively approach cement make it fully worthy of the seat of influence that it has long since held.

Based on a Japanese legend about a samurai warrior fighting for his country and clan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! See more Petros T Apr 22 Influenced by preceding Westerns but also highly influential in its own right for the movies that followed, "Yôjinbô" executes the genre's now familiar tropes with conviction and style while also infusing them with a subtle but potent sense of humour. Some sequences are really captivating and overall it's quite an engaging film, though it doesn't eschew certain convenient conventions and some OTT acting, and it rarely hints at something more layered or subversive than what the premise indicates.

I like A Fistful of Dollars (1964) better, both based on Dashiell Hammett's Red Harvest. For example Sergio Leone improved the scene where the protagonist kills the first thugs. I also like Sanjuro (1962) better. Toshiro Mifune Kuwabatake/Tsubaki Sanjuro one of the synonyms of cunning next to Philip Marlowe, The Man With no Name, Batman his weapon is cunning above all. I liked how Mifune refused to be Obi Wan Kenobi, he have said "I am Toshiro Mifune, why would I make that movie?" I like the quote "Kill one or a hundred you will only be hanged once." Sanjuro's plan to make them exterminate each other and he profit it like balkanization. The worst would be that crying child, hateful, loud and complaining, along with his father who is a bit of a man, a good-for-nothing idiot. Seibe's wife is one of the most memorable characters.
