It would be interesting to see how close some stay. It's not "your" genre, but the <i>Magnificent Seven</i> TV series' first episode was a reworking of the plot, and there are episodes of shows which borrow it, such as "Magnificent Warriors" that you mention and "Dragonswing" on <i>Kung Fu: The Legend Continues</i>. I've thought about tracing some of those myself, and so I heartily endorse this one!Hughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10790273832065126540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12380553.post-61081240468745301652012-08-02T14:30:30.754-04:002012-08-02T14:30:30.754-04:00If I recall correctly, Kurosawa missed a trick.
