Wow, if you think this is true, check out the Roger Corman-produced
cheapie, _Battle Beyond the Stars_..."
 
And notice that the Bruce Willis film, LAST MAN STANDING, which opens this weekend,
is based on Kurosawa's magnifcent YOJIMBO (which was somewhat derived from a
Dashiell Hammett novel and inspired A FISTFUL OF DOLLARS by Leone, making
 Eastwood a star)!
