I suppose a better way to put it is this: you can clearly see the continuity between it and modern action films in its use of certain tropes: the sympathetic kidnapper bit and the rooftop scene at the end come to mind. But yes, you're right, I doubt we'll see much like that chair fight again any time soon.
I think a comparison between the '34 and '56 versions would be very interesting. The original has nothing like the taxidermists' scene, and the weird which is my favorite part of the remake.
Between this and M, you can see Lorre's real talent, before he slowly turned into a caricature of himself.
