The colorful style of the classic anime Lupin the Third Part 1 (1971) was inspired by this film; both feature characters in colored suits, have a very comical and playful undertone, and have a general emphasis on entertainment over logic.
The high-stylizing of the cinematography contrasting colorful background sets and costumes with gangster wearing sunglasses and guns will later influence the filming styles of Quentin Tarantino, Johnnie To and Takeshi Kitano.
Quentin Tarantino's Kill Bill: Vol. 1 (2003) appears to pay homage to this film in that both movies are black and white before the opening credits and then in color after the opening credits.
