to be honest - i thought kill bill did a better job than any of them
I know they all weren't about torture. Tarantino killed the feel by fulling the flick with self reflexive dialoge... make that way to much. I remember those kinda flicks being about cars not QT.
Kill Bill has dated really badly already... the music is terrible and the design is a tacky regurgitation of the pinky violence flicks and doesn't offer anything new.
Just a overlong self indulgent westernization of truly pioneering cinema.
Lady Snowblood is just a deeper film and has a lot more style and the Female Convict: Scorpion series has the splatter and quirky bad guys covered.
