of all the film that quentin tarantino pay homage to in his kill bill film and fujita lady snowblood might have receive the most because not do the kill bill film have screen shot almost take directly from lady snowblood they also incorporate some of the music sung by lady snowblood heroine kaji meiko . like many other film from japan during the late 1960s and early 1970s . lady snowblood be shoot on a shoestring budget and at an incredibly fast pace . however and unlike many of the film make during that time period lady snowblood remain popular because while it plot have be do many time before and include suzuki norifumi sex and fury which be film the same year and whose background plot be almost identical to lady snowblood and it possess a certain style that differentiate it from many other film from this time period namely that the heroine seem to be able to keep her clothes on throughout the entire film and that while it have lot of blood and gore and another influence evident in kill bill and it be not too overdone . also kaji meiko have quite a presence in front of the camera and her portrayal of the cool yuki be almost perfect . pen by the creator of lone wolf and cub and hanzo the razor koike kazuo and lady snowblood portray the life of yuki a young woman who be bear to seek revenge for her mother whose husband be the scapegoat of a plot set up by for villain so they could extort money from a poor village . force to shack up with one of the murderer and yuki mom be able to kill him . however and while search for the other three she be arrest and put in prison . in prison she sleep with every man she can in order to get pregnant and eventually give birth to yuki and dy soon afterward . train by a stern priest in martial art and swordplay the child of the netherworld yuki begin her search for those who destroy her family and her own life before she be even bear . while it may seem threadbare to many of today film viewer and lady snowblood should be consider one of the fine example of film of it genre . definitely recommend for those who enjoy swordplay and blood in their film and also recommend to those who enjoy old japanese film outside of the canonized film of kurosawa and ozu and and mizoguchi and but it might not be for those with a weak stomach .
