As great as The Good, the Bad and the Ugly is, as good as Once Upon a Time in the West is, many consider Sergio Leone's Once Upon a Time in America to be his finest work.

Fixated on the asian movies and didn't remember Leone's classic.

The Criterion Blu ray released of Tokyo Drifter and Branded to Kill are AWESOME.

No, I think you are thinking of director Ringo Lam's City on Fire starring Chow Yun-fat as the undercover cop and Danny Lee as the crook (in John Woo's The Killer, Danny Lee was the cop and Chow was the killer)

QT probably was also inspired by Stanley Kubrick's The Killing starring Sterling Hayden (non-chronological storytelling about a racetrack heist). Where The Killing is different than RD, was that TK followed each character from beginning to end and then going on to the next character from beginning to end and repeat.

QT takes from everything it seems haha. I think Mystery Train was also a big influence on his work (especially for Pulp Fiction).
