The film went on to win Best Picture, Best Director, Best Supporting Actor (Hackman) and Best Film Editing at the Oscars and is still one of few Westerns to be inducted into the United States National Film Registry.

Today Unforgiven is still considered one of the greatest film's in it's genre, ironically produced years after the Western's hayday of the fifties and sixties.

Unforgiven shatters every myth of the Old West showing it as a hard brutal place where no one dies easily or quietly instead it's a world of killing and a vicious cycle of revenge.
