Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

If you've seen A Fistful of Dollars, you've essentially seen Yojimbo. Sergio Leone pratically stole the plotline from Akira Kurosawa.

Don't dis Leone, the Man with No Name trilogy is brilliant despite it's plotline being taken from several Kurosawa films.

I'm not dissing Leone in anyway, I'm a huge fan of The Man With No Name movies. For a Few Dollars More is probably one of my favorite all time movies.

Well, Leone may have been influenced by Kurosawa, but Yojimbo is taken directly from a Dashieel Hammet short (a friend lives in, and gives tours of, Hammet's old apartment here in SF).

And, of course, there's nothing wrong with this. All artists are influenced and inspired by other artists.

There are a bunch of western remakes of Kurosawa's films. Seven Samurai is a lot better than its remake The Magnificent Seven, but both are worth watching.
