The 1960 classic, The Magnificent Seven, was based on the Seven Samurai.
Yul Brenner and Steve McQueen were great, but neither engaged in a sword duel.
I went through a stage when i rented all of Kurosawas movies .
Not only was “The Magnificent Seven” based on his movies, but a lot of the “Spaghetti Westerns” were as well.
Clint Eastwood and and Toshiro Mifune were similar in many ways. :-0
Yeah, but James Coburn was awesome with a knife!
That's because they never got into sworded affairs.
P. S. The Magnificent Seven is the only movie whose text became the basis for one of my sermons: "I have been offered a lot for my work, but never everything." Exactly where the sermon went is a topic for another time :-)
Star Wars was based on a samurai movie, wasn’t it?
Where two samurai were tasked with escorting a princess thru dangerous territory?
That’s a question.
This scene was with a knife beating a drawn gun...
