Hi Jake,
Check out "The Emperor and the Wolf", a great book about Kurosawa and Mifune. In it, Mifune explains the scene was done with hollow arrows shot on wires to hit him. But they were REAL arrows. yeeks! Also, the climax to Seven Samurai was shot in the winter... Rain machines, farmer thongs plus cold, cold weather!!!
Scary stuff.
Chris
Awesome. I'm ALL over it.
The scene where a bandit shoots a peasant in The Seven Samurai was a guy shooting at a person with a wooden block under their shirt. Damn!

Yojimbo, followed by FFOD followed by Last Man Standing ;)
Well, yeah, except Last Man Standing was a remake of For a Few Dollars More, not FFOD.

'Cause, y'know, the screenwriter couldn't actually be bothered to mention a book.

Not to nitpick, but
Last Man Standing
has nothing to do with
A Few Dollars More
.
Fistul
...: Bloke enters town, notices the two gangs, plays the two gangs up against each other, gets found out and beaten to a pulp, gangs exterminate each other, bloke takes out the remaining gang members and rides into the sunset.
Last Man
...: All of the above.
Few Dollars
...: Two bountyhunters going after a really bad ba***d, sometimes doublecrossing each other and sometimes cooperating, gets the guy and his entire gang and rides into the sunset.
Last Man
...: Nothing of the above apart from the sunset.
Besides, both Clint Eastwood, who redevelloped much of his character after he took the part, and Sergio Leone said from the start that it was a remake of Yojimbo. They never presented it as an original work at all. This was mostly because they never expected it to ever be shown outside Italy, so they didn't see the point of changing it too much, their audience would be so limited that no one would have ever heard of the original.
