Western / Oriental Campaign themes

[(Psi)SeveredHead]

There is a great old western w/Charles Broson and Toshiro Mufuni called 'The Red Sun'
(beware of PG nudlty)

There's also Shanghai Noon; goofy plot, and not Jackie Chan's best work, but kind of fun to watch anyway.

Fist Full of Dollars, Few Dollars More, The Good, The Bad and The Ugly with Clint Eastwood. Really, you can't really go wrong with any of the old Spagetti Westerns.

Rent almost any of Kurosawa's old samurai films, Ran, Throne of Blood, Yojimbo (basis for Fist Full of Dollars), The Hidden Fortress (basis for Star Wars) and Sanjuro (has the same character from Yojimbo in it).

All awesome movies that everyoe should see.

• Movie: The Magnificent Seven (based on Seven Samurai)
• Anime: Samurai Seven (based on Seven Samurai)

• CG: A Bug's Life (based on Seven Samurai)

Yojimbo (basis for Fist Full of Dollars)

...and also the basis for Last Man Standing.


Kurosawa's films have been have had a lot of remakes into assorted genres and settings... They're pretty timeless stories.
