<< "Last Man Standing" is loosely based on the Sergio Leone Western "A Fistful of Dollars", which is loosely based on Kurosawa'a Samurai film
"Yojimbo", which was influenced by Hammett's "Red Harvest" how's that for a complex lineage? >>

I *knew* there was a reason it felt familiar! The tough-guy-protecter-of-dames figure has been around the block a bit, I'd say, and Willis does a good stand-in for Clint. Somehow, even in this PC age, I can't imagine a woman playing this sort of role. <g>
