View profile »Well, here's a thread to see how many "pulls" we can think of (but not obvious ones like "Lady Snowblood" ===> "Kill Bill Vol. 1" or direct re-makes).
------------------------------------------------------------
"The Eyes Without a Face" ===> "Face/Off" (facial surgery)
"Samurai III: Duel at Ganryu Island" ===> "The Karate Kid" (catching flies with chopsticks)
"Hidden Fortress" ===> "Star Wars: Episode IV--A New Hope"
"Orpheus" ===> "The Matrix" (touching a mirror with the glass turning into liquid)
"Le Cercle Rouge" ===> "Hard Boiled" (shooting a gun at a small hole in the distance)
"The Deer Hunter" ===> "Bullet in the Head" (self-explanatory)

View profile »most of the aforementioned movies are pretty good, though it's kind of a long slog to sit through all three "samurai" movies. you can jump to the third one, but you might be confused by the story because you missed out on the first two thirds. (be warned--the quality is terrible even though criterion released the "samurai" movies on dvd. they look like old vhs masters.)
i didn't like either "the deer hunter" (huge gaps in logic) or "bullet in the head" (over the top, even for john woo).
