most people that see the kill bill film ( especially vol . 1 ) and then see a work that inspire kill bill and like shurayukihime and feel let down some how that they do not see the same exact film twice . no and you would not hear the main femme fatal talk about cheeseburger and and she doesn not go to china to be train by pai mei ( another lift character and btw ) . but what we do get with this film be pure excitement . ultra violent and blood spurting and sexy lead woman excitement and all set in a period backdrop . we get to see the work from the originator and not the imitator . if you like samurai or revenge flick and with authentic flavor and plenty of gore and some beautiful photography and check this one out . heck and i recommend this to fan of kb vol . 1 as well . just do not expect pop culture reference .
