Akira Kurasawa's YOJIMBO has long been known as an influence on Sergio Leone's A FISTFUL OF DOLLARS, but Hideo Gosha returned the favor with the spaghetti western-tinged wandering ronin film duo SAMURAI WOLF in which a lone samurai wanders into violent situations and dispenses his own justice. From the director of THREE OUTLAW SAMURAI and VIOLENT STREETS.
