Viewing Notes

Hill’s take on Kurosawa’s Yojimbo (on which Sergio Leone’s A Fistful of Dollars is also based) is set in 1930s West Texas. It’s a gritty, pretty period accurate piece of nastiness that’s an enjoyable watch.

The over-the-top gun battles are especially fun to watch!

I’m a big Walter Hill fan. I love The Warriors and The Driver. While Last Man Standing isn’t quite up there with those two, it’s still a fun watch and worth seeking out if you haven’t seen it.
