Because of the film's success, the word "Rashomon" has come to refer to (in English and in other languages) a situation wherein the truth of an event becomes difficult to verify due to the conflicting nature of different witnesses.
The film has been remade, officially and unofficially, many times; in the United States a Western remake, credited to Kurosawa and named The Outrage, was made in 1964 with Paul Newman, Claire Bloom[?] and Edward G. Robinson.
