Description
Summary:	A drifter samurai manipulates two gangster clans terrorizing a town. Remade as A Fistful of Dollars starring Clint Eastwood and Last Man Standing starring Bruce Willis. A crafty samurai drifter comes upon a town ruled by two rival gangster clans and decides to eliminate both by playing them against each other. Loosely (and unofficially) based on Dashiell Hammett's novel Red Harvest, this film was later remade by Sergio Leone as A Fistful of Dollars and by Walter Hill as Last Man Standing.
