Guest sevenhooks Posted December 29, 2003 Share Posted December 29, 2003 By all means, yes! The "dollars" trilogy gets better with each film (and each viewing). Next is FOR A FEW DOLLARS MORE, then the all-time classic THE GOOD, THE BAD & THE UGLY. I only just got into the spaghetti westerns in the last couple of years on the constant urging of a friend with similar film interests & now I'm completely hooked. There are an awful lot of similarities in both genres (kung fu & spaghettis) with themes of revenge, honor, whose style (gun fighting skill) is better, etc. It's also fun to see just how many spaghetti soundtracks were used in kung fu flicks. Other joints to check for: ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE WEST A FISTFUL OF DYNAMITE (Duck, You Sucker) THE BIG GUNDOWN DEATH RIDES A HORSE DAY OF ANGER COMPANEROS MY NAME IS NOBODY RUN MAN RUN FACE TO FACE A BULLET FOR THE GENERAL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest chingdog Posted January 2, 2004 Share Posted January 2, 2004 Fistfull of Dollars is a good film and even better if you like Clint Eastwood.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DragonfighterX Posted January 6, 2004 Share Posted January 6, 2004 I watched it and liked it quite a bit, but I was more impressed with The Wild Bunch. It was like John Woo before his time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mantis FIST Posted January 25, 2004 Share Posted January 25, 2004 Yeah Woo said He loves Wild Bunch and made the killer with it in mind. I personally recommend Yojimbo over fist full of dollars. Good films if you like Clint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest SilentJay32 Posted February 12, 2004 Share Posted February 12, 2004 Sam Peckinpah was one of Woo's favorite directors, along with Jean-Pierre Melvillie. Peckinpah + Melville = Woo. "The Killer" takes the story from Melville's "Le Samourai" and mixes it with Peckinpah's heroic bloodshed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest magic8 Posted March 8, 2004 Share Posted March 8, 2004 Any remake of Kurosawa's Yojimbo has gotta have something to it. Fairly faithful adaptation to boot and much better than Last Man Standing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
