Sat down to re-watch Lady Snowblood, a classic Japanese film form the 70's, with Ruth recently. She has never seen it and I forget how similar it is to Kill Bill. For anyone who has not seen either there is no denying where Quentin Tarantino got his inspiration for his Kill Bill films. Everything from the plot to the non-sequential narrative framing of chapters, down to the music and old master that trains the main protagonist Yuki.
An ultra-violent bloody masterpiece written by Kazuo Koike (Lone Wolf and Cub) It comes highly recommended for anyone into samurai films or want to see how much Tarantino plagiarized or pays homage to this film and it's sequel. You can find it on Hulu under the Criterion Collection, but don't wait too long because word is Hulu is losing the CC soon.
