I think this is why Star Wars is so successful. It's western, samurai, and sci-fi all mixed together (at least the good stuff is).
Seven Samurai was made by Kurosawa, which became "The Magnificent Seven" and "A Bug's Life".
He also made "Yoimbo" and is sequel "Sanjuro", which became "A Fist Full of Dollars" and "For a Few Dollars More".
And he made "The Hidden Fortress", which inspired "Star Wars."
Dude was influential.
TIL I need to watch A Bugs Life again, but yeah, I'm very familiar with his work.
