Mad Max and Guts
The Phantom of the Paradise and Femto
Berserk has also inspired a lot of other media, particularly the games created by FromSoftware:
Berserk's Mark of Sacrifice and Bloodborne's Hunter rune
Berserk's corpse-wheel monsters and Dark Souls' corpse-wheel monsters
Berserk's horse demon and Bloodborne's Ludwig the Accursed
Berserk's religious nut armed with a wagon wheel weapon and Bloodborne's Logarius wheel (Logarius is, predictably, a religious nut)
I don't know if it's just me but the first time I read the chapter where Guts goes up the stairs in Volume 2 with his flowing black cape, I got a strong feeling it might have been influenced by Tim Burton's 1989 Batman movie. Even Griffith's black armor reminds me of the suit Keaton wore.
