Yojimbo vs Fistful

Leone certainly establishes his trademark style with "Fistful" and ends up creating a new genre of film. That is nothing to dismiss, but in virtually every aspect, Yojimbo excels. Eastwood is not in the same league as Mifune, for instance. In fact, the supporting players in Yojimbo are stellar, not just Mifune. As typical with Kurosawa, his film shows a wider range of the human experience, including humor, which Leone's film does not. I enjoy both versions, but the original surpasses the imitation.

Yojimbo was fal suerior. the scenes fit the setting better and the plot, due to more time to flesh it out, made a lot more sense. Leone tried to cut it down and all he did is left the plot incoherent, especially around the beginning of the movie.
