Yeah, I can't remember the name but it's an adaptation of
Kurosawa's Yojimbo and/or one of the Sergio Leone spagetti
westersn with Clint eastwood.

Correct on both counts: Yojimbo came first and Leone's "For a
Few Dollars More" was the homage/remake... The Willis flick
wasn't too bad either but Kurosawa's and Leone's adaptation
in kind are infinitely superior in my purview.
