Drawing your katana with speed and faster than the other guy killing him in one blow
Drawing your revolver faster than the other guy and killing him in one shot
Checks out to me
There's a reason why they made westerns out of samurai movies.
And samurai movies out of westerns too.
Example?
Sukiyaki Western Django
There also exist several japanese comics and videogames heavily influenced by westerns, but they seem to take influence from all sorts of cultures idk if that counts.
Isn't that reverse logic?
Westerns were adapted from samurai movies therefore they have a lot in common, not the other way around.
Read that again. You're both saying the same thing.
Fistful of Dollars came out 2-3 years after Yojimbo, they have the same plot except one is Samurai and one is a Western. Kurosawa even got paid from it after a lawsuit.
They changed the setting to Mexico (kept most of the set design choices) changed the names, and added guns.
I like Yojimbo and cowboys enough that I'll watch both
