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.

It’s not hard to see why this was one of Tarantino’s influences for Kill Bill. Engaging femme-fatale from start to finish.

One of the best (revenge) films ever. A direct inspiration of Kill Bill that delivers buckets of blood and brain. An absolute must watch.
