BTW, "The Bride" is a reference to one of Tarantino's favorite movies - THE BRIDE WITH WHITE HAIR - a Hong Kong martial arts movie about a Bride who goes on the vengeance trail after being double-crossed by her fiance and his clan. Hmmmm, sound familiar? That movie is cited as a major influence on Tarantino as well as Sam Raimi who did a Xena episode homage to THE BRIDE WITH WHITE HAIR. The wonderful Bridgette Lin starred in the movie and was asked to reprise her role in Xena but she declined.
I've always felt Tarantino was overrated but at least he's done quite a bit to help Western cinema discover Chinese and Hong Kong movies.

IMHO this is simply one of the best films of the decade, the second best of 2003, and an absolute treat for anyone who loves movies. You may need to know a few things about cinema to pick up on the references, but anyone can enjoy the frantic pace of the movie and the pure joy it exudes. The sequel was a bit of a disappointment but Volume 1 rocks.

Yeah, Kill Bill 2 was different - but was coool. Tarantino has had too much expectance placed on him i rekon. He's just more hardcore than the industry - let him play arounfd though dudes - do non't spoil his time ;)
