Yojimbo wins hand's down but A Fistful of Dollars comes a close second. Not seen the Bruce Willis one. In fact I will tell you all right now Yojimbo is my fav movie of all time.

Goddamn, I love A Fistful of Dollars. I really gotta check out Yojimbo one of these days, and Sanjuro, too.
 
Last Man Standing looks ridiculous as hell. My dad has always talked about it fondly as a dumb shoot-em-up movie. Maybe one of these days I`ll rent it and watch it with him.
 
Sweet video, looking forward to seeing more of these.

You realize now that you will have to do Seven Samurai v. The Magnificent Seven, right?

Yaaaaaa!! New feature!

Nice idea. I look forward to seeing more. I'll look into Yojimbo too.

Yojimbo wins for sure, nothing against Fistfull but Yojimbo is one of the best movies ever made.

And A BUG'S LIFE as well.
 
LAST MAN STANDING is poo, but nobody has better gunshot sounds than Walter Hill.

Yojimbo is fucking awesome, the other two can't even dream of matching up to it.

Last man standing is ridiculous with the amount of bullets in the pistols.

Love this new feature.

I thought it was The Hidden Fortress that influenced Star Wars and not Yojimbo....
Rorieon May 17, 2010 at 5:33 p.m.
@graf1k:  It did, heavily, but Yojimbo has some moments in it that wind up in Star Wars as well.

I desperately need a haircut, and I talk funny. That's what I've learned from this video.

I fucking love Last Man Standing. It ranks up there with crazy action films like Hardboiled and The Killer with pistol akimbo action.

Yojimbo is hands down the best of the 3.  Fistful of Dollars is a close second.
Sharpshooteron May 17, 2010 at 5:50 p.m.

I'll be honest I've never watched Yojimbo, and I don't think I'll be going out of my way to remedy that anytime soon.

You should do Infernal Affairs vs. The Departed.
