This Classic Akira Kurosawa Movie Had 3 U.S. Remakes In 2 Years In The '90s
Akira Kurosawa's career still influences filmmakers today. However, one of his films had three U.S. remakes over the course of two years in the '90s.
Although many of Akira Kurosawa's films have been remade throughout history, one of Kurosawa's films from the '60s was remade three times in the United States during the mid 1990s. Many Westerns were inspired by Kurosawa, which speaks volumes to his legacy, but there are also movies outside the Western genre that benefited from borrowing ideas and characters from the director's filmography. Additionally, Spike Lee's upcoming reboot of High & Low starring Denzel Washington serves as yet another testament to the respect that Kurosawa's body of work garners worldwide.
