Tracing Hideo Kojima's Cinematic Influences
It's always fun to discover the influences of your favorite writer or director. If you're a fan of Metal Gear Solid, then it'll be no surprise Western cinema has made a huge impression on Hideo Kojima.
Fun factoid: The Guns of Navarone helped spawn Metal Gear and was the basis for the series' “sneaking mission” game concept. Kojima based Snake and Otocon’s real names, David and Hal, after characters from Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey. And the Octocamo took its inspiration from Predator.
Here are the movies that had the greatest influence on Kojima:
The Guns of Navarone
The Great Escape
Goldfinger
2001: A Space Odyssey
Planet of the Apes (original work)
The Deer Hunter
Dawn of the Dead
Full Metal Jacket
Predator
Die Hard
Heat
Black Hawk Down
Children of Men
Bourne Series
007 Casino Royale
