An overt inspiration for the Kill Bill series, Lady Snowblood combines gorgeous imagery, bloody action, and a poignant philosophical center.
The original Kill Bill, so much stylish action here—though maybe not so much if blood bothers you
A rip roaring, pulpy tale of bloody revenge. And pretty to look at!
A masterclass in contrast, where the beautiful Ms Kaji is placed next to some of the most brutal violence in cinema.
A brutal and unforgiving experience, with harsh themes of violence and revenge. The action scenes are magnificent, as are the performances.
Add this to my list of baddies i wish i couldve looked up to as a kid
I loved this movie. The fight choreography was amazing.
It’s not hard to see why this was one of Tarantino’s influences for Kill Bill. Engaging femme-fatale from start to finish.
A dark snow falling / On a ghosts heavy shoulders / Winter dawn breaking
One of the best (revenge) films ever. A direct inspiration of Kill Bill that delivers buckets of blood and brain. An absolute must watch.
