Asian Westerns

[EricBC]

There are few, but I really like them.

Some are more obvious then others, and then you have Akira Kurosawa where he was inspired by westerns style (Yojimbo & Seven Samurai) and Shakespeares stories (i.e. Throne of Blood & Ran being the direct adpatations)

I know there have to be others out there. I kind of consider Versus to be a Soy Zombie Gonzo Western (patent pending, some of the shots, the style, and to an extant the characters)

I've always been curious to know what others think, do you consider some of the asian film-makers that are inspired by western genre movies done in period to be asian westerns or do they need to be more cowboy/gunslinger to be considered western in your opnion?
