Last Man Standing(1996), like Fist Full of Dollars(1964), is a retelling of the story in Yojimbo (1961), which is itself based on Dashiell Hammett's novel "Red Harvest" from 1927. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0116830/trivia Jul 10 06, 6:10 PM

Akira Kurosawa's "Seven Samurai" was hugely influential, leading to "The Magnificent Seven," "Once Upon a Time in the West," and, ultimately, "Once Upon a Time in New York." Perhaps you had it in mind? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Seven_Samurai Jul 10 06, 6:46 PM

No, I considered trying to work Seven Samurai into it but I don't think Once Upon A Time In The West or America could be considered remakes, although as a big Kurosawa fan I'm delighted to acknowledge his influence on those movies. Jul 10 06, 6:53 PM
