Kill Bill Vol. 1 (2003)

(California, Texas, Japan; roughly contemporary: 1998?-2003?)

Tarantino’s tribute to any number of genres, but particularly action films of the east, is stylized extra-violent fun. It’s what you want from the director and its what he’s more then able to give you, though it’s not as strong in its dialogue as either ‘Pulp Fiction’ or ‘Grindhouse’.

Just watched this one and while I don't agree that cutting off an appendage can cause that much blood to spew from a wound, I was totally sucked in. In fact I ran right out to get the next one. Hope it's as good.
