Page "Yojimbo (film)" Paragraph 37

At the closing of Episode XXIII of the animated series Samurai Jack, a triumphant Jack walks off alone in a scene ( and accompanied by music ) influenced by the closing scene and music of Yojimbo.

In Episode XXVI, Jack confronts a gang who destroyed his sandals, using Clint Eastwood's lines from A Fistful of Dollars, but substituting ' footwear ' for ' donkey.

' The influence of Yojimbo in particular ( and Kurosawa films in general ) on the animated series has been noted by Matthew Millheiser at DVDtalk.
