Recently, I watched what has to be the best Zatoichi that I have seen to date. One of the reasons that I particularly liked Zatotichi and the Fugitives (1967) was that it was roughly the same plot as Yojimbo / A Fistful of Dollars. I didn’t notice that this was the plot until about two thirds of the way through the movie. Which to me means that the script was well crafted.
I’ll have to write a version of the Yojimbo story sometime.
