Yeah, if the opportunity arises, will watch it.
It's worth a watch- Kurosawa sued Leone for ripping him off.
Yeah, although that is not a guarantee that the original is better. The history of the arts is a constant cycle of recycled plots and themes. Sometimes a recycle is derivative crap; other times it surpasses the original.
