Two men, no names.

In Akira Kurosawa's masterful 1961 jidaigeki, Yojimbo, Toshiro Mifune plays a masterless samurai who arrives in a small town where competing crime lords make their money from gambling. The samurai convinces each of two crime lords, Seibei and Ushitora, to hire him as protection from the other.

The film is said to be the director's attempt at making a film along the lines of Hollywood westerns. Unknowingly, Kurosawa left one of the biggest impressions a director has ever left on the genre.

A long time fan of Kurosawa's, Italian filmmaker Sergio Leone made a true to the source remake for European and American audiences. In 1964 audiences were introduced to The Man With No Name portrayed by young American actor Clint Eastwood. Leone's remake, A Fist Full of Dollars, led to two spiritual sequels, For A Few Dollars More, and The Good The Bad and The Ugly. The Man With No Name trilogy went on to become one of the biggest staples in the Western genre.

Mifune's Yojimbo & Eastwood's Man With No Name - done entirely in Adobe Photoshop CS5 with an HP Touchsmart TM2 tablet PC.

I've heard of the comparisons between Yojimbo and similar films and the spaghetti westerns, but never saw it demonstrated like this. Thanks for sharing it!

Does anyone know what Sanjuro is saying?

"I'm just a hired gun", or "I'm just a Yojimbo".

The funny thing is that some of Eastwoods earlies movies were based on Mifune movies.
