For the little known schlockfest Squirm in which some guy gets eaten by worms in a pit, he borrowed some inspiration from Gustav Klimt www.johncoulthart.com/feuilleton/2... It's one of my favorite Struzan artworks.

To sum this up, here's another favorite of mine, his minimalist and clever artwork for Luc Bessons fantastic La Femme Nikita, a classic of 90s action cinema.
