Although it is left unsaid in wikipedia.org, Spaghetti Western movies were actually inspired by Akira Kurosawa's samurai flicks, namely Yojimbo (1961), Tsubaki Sanjuro (1962) and perhaps some others. In fact, I've heard that Clint Eastwood himself said that he's basically just imitating Toshiro Mifune, the protagonist in many of Kurosawa's samurai movies.
