My perception of Quentin Tarantino and his works has always been a love-hate relationship. Films like Pulp Fiction mesmerized me in my youth, and the release of Jackie Brown timed perfectly with my growing interest in exploitation films. Yet the hype and sensation around Kill Bill began to sour me on his work. At that point, I was deeply obsessed with Japanese cinema and was hyped to see great works paid homage on screen. Lady Snowblood, Zatoichi, and Goke: Body Snatcher From Hell were among my favorite features referenced in the movie. However, the discussion around these films was minimal when it came to Kill Bill outside of those in the know.
