"Kill Bill" was 'SUGEE!!' Not cheesy at all. A little tongue-in-cheek
(yakuza wearing Kato masks a la Bruce Lee in the Green Hornet) but
still a great homage to chumpara eiga. Classic sword duel in a snowy
Japanese garden. Lucy Liu looks good in a kimono and Uma Thurman plays
her part magnificently. Can't wait to see Vol. 2.
Beat Takeshi's "Zatoichi" was cool. "Kill Bill, Vol. 1" was better.
"The Last Samurai" is next. Great year for samurai movies.

Have it directed by Tarantino.

I couldn't handle another Taratino movie yet. I'm laughing at Pulp Fiction, love
the bit where the black guy get anally raped, nothing funnier than buggery
especially if the guy is black; and the dialogue so witty "Would you let me give
you a foot massage", still cracks me up.

I guess "I didn't get" Pulp Fiction. The only part I remember is
Bruce Willis and John Travolta in a close up scene together. That was
Charisma Overload--Tarantino likes to take it over the top and he
doesn't disappoint in Kill Bill, either.

Eh!? Nanda sore? So you're saying these movies were made to pander
to Japanese audiences!? Chigau yo. The Zatoichi that was made for a
Japanese audience in Japan but the other two were made for American
audiences.
Do you know what you're talking about?
