Yojimbo (product link) Drama / Action/Adventure "Yojimbo" is a 1961 samurai classic starring Toshiro Mifune (1920-1997). Several Occidental movies copy it: "A Fistful Of Dollars" starring Clint Eastwood, "Warrior And Sorceress" starring David Carradine, "Last Man Standing" starring Bruce Willis...
The basic plot is: a ronin comes to a town where two gangs are warring of control. He helps one gang, then helps the other, playing them against one another.
This movie is a classic of world movies, one of my nation's best. Everyone must see it.

I agree my friend! Toshiro Mifune has made many classics! This is one of his greatest!
Yes, "Yojimbo" and "sanjuro" are two of the best Japanese movies of all time. Japan itself copied some of toshiro Mifune's movies, e.g. in "Manji Mai 2", and the west copied some as you say. This movie is set near the end of the Edo period and samurai.
