Last Man Standing is a 1996 American action thriller film written and directed by Walter Hill and starring Bruce Willis, Christopher Walken and Bruce Dern. It is a credited remake of Akira Kurosawas Yojimbo, and was influenced heavily by the plot of A Fistful of Dollars, which is nearly the same.

Smith leaves his car in the street and goes to speak with Sheriff Ed Galt Bruce Dern. Sheriff Galt doesnt bother to conceal his cowardice or corruption, saying he wont act against Doyles gang and advises Smith to wait for his car to be repaired and to leave town. Instead, Smith walks to the town hotel, run by Joe Monday William Sanderson where Smith orders a drink, books himself a room, and arms himself before announcing his intention to petition Finn for damages. Smith enters Doyles building, finds Finn, and asks him to pay for the damages to his car. Finn mocks him and threatens to shoot Smith. Smith and Finn get in a gunfight, which Smith wins with alarming speed. Smith departs, leaves the remaining gangsters alive as witnesses, and returns to the hotel bar, much to the surprise of Jerichos residents.Following Finns death, Fredo Strozzi Ned Eisenberg, the head of Jerichos Italian gang, offers Smith a job in his outfit. Strozzi predicts a gang war between his and Doyles gang, and is hiring as many skilled soldiers as he can. Smith accepts the job and sits down to dinner with the Strozzi gang where he meets Giorgio Carmonte Michael Imperioli, son of a prominent Chicago mobster who is monitoring Strozzis activities in Jericho. Carmonte expresses his distrust with Smith, who leaves the dinner, and meets and seduces Strozzis mistress, Lucy Alexandra Powers. ........
