SPR and 7 Samurai?

Rating: Null/10 (9 March 1999)

The correlation between these two stories is nearly non-existent. Just because there's a fight in the beginning and a fight in the end, and a quiet but extremely skillful character doesn't make it a Kurosawa rip-off. Hell if we went by the similarities mentioned, you could say the same thing about the Blues Brothers...or Blazing Saddles...or Silverado. ...oh wait, Silverado WAS a Kurosawa rip-off.
