You're correct that it's "gimmick-y" and that's intentional! Both movies pay homage to the old martial arts epics (themes of vengence, over-the-top effects, wild fight choreo) and classic figures like Bruce Lee (yellow track suit from Game of Death) The song while Uma Thurman is riding the motorcycle is the theme song drom Green Hornet, another old and short-lived martial arts TV show.

Extremely weird fun fact about Daryl Hannah, the actress who plays Elle Driver: in 1984 she starred in a smash hit romantic comedy with Tom Hanks called Splash, where she played a mermaid who gets legs and falls in love with Tom Hanks?? ANYWAY, Tom Hanks asks her what her name is, and she doesn't have a normal one because she's a mermaid, so she looks up at a street sign that says "Madison Avenue" and decides her name is "Madison." So, why am I telling you this? Because the next year, "Madison" showed up as a popular baby name. Daryl Hannah is the reason Madison became a popular name lol.

[@SweetZombiJesus]

Madison had an even more massive spike in the mid-90s. I wonder what happened there.

[@brendanfoehr5086]

@@SweetZombiJesus I think it just started charting in 1985 and kept rising, I think the movie just ignited the trend and it snowballed before peaking in the late 90s, early 2000s

[@placebo5466]

The "Matrix" fighting vibe you're getting is Hong Kong style action, specifically John Woo. Both Kill Bill and Matrix action scenes were HEAVILY influenced by his style. I think parts of Kill Bill were filmed in Hong Kong which gives it that uniqueness. HK's action and stunt work is incredible. Especially the early Jackie Chan stuff. Edit: The silhouette shot during the sword fight with the blue background. Such a fucking flex and show boat move and it works 100%.

The Oren Ishi character and the snowy kitana scene are a nod to an awesome 1973 Japanese film called Lady Snowblood.

Regarding the Matrix comparisons, Chinese martial arts films were doing this kind of wire work for literal decades. If anything, that's the common source of inspiration that both the Matrix and this film draw from. And it doesn't hurt the comparison that Yuen Woo-ping was the fight coordinator on both films.

[@FluffySylveonBoi]

Hattori Hanzo thought she may be English (like from England), because she speaks English. American was probably his second guess. I love the way he changed his mind to create a sword for her.

[@bhelliom3]

The reason you’re thinking Lucy Liu is from Matrix is because you’re picturing her in the *most iconic* scene from Charlie’s Angels when she wears a skin tight leather skirt, an aesthetic heavily associated with the matrix, for the purposes of distracting people under cover. I will never forget that scene. And I used to think I was straight….

[@dancingwheels8494]

The film didn’t explain this very well, but there is a code amongst these assassins. I don’t necessarily think it’s a moral one. I think it’s about honor. Maybe it’s not even a code of honor. It could just mean that you’re not as good as you think you are, if you do what they call “bushwhacking.“ Which is what Vernita did by trying to kill her with a sneak attack.

[@marzblaq7267]

So that’s what Elle meant by “Bushwhacking” when she referred to Budd. I never knew what that meant until now.

[@dancingwheels8494]

@@marzblaq7267 took me a while to understand as well. That’s why even though Elle hated her, she respected her enough to know that she deserved better than some cowardly ambush. I figured it out after reading Tarantino’s script for the movie. After Vernita was dealt the fatal blow, she apologized to Uma for the ambush, instead of facing her in battle.

"So he birthed that sound effect?" No. QT doesn't birth many things. He robs from the past like a producer uses samples. That "siren" effect is part of an old 70s cop show theme (Ironside). The filmmaking styles are a collage of many things - Japanese samurai/Yakuza movies, Hong Kong martial arts, 60s Italian westerns, 70s Italian horror, you name it. The soundtrack is similar - loads of retro tunes, many associated with particular movies or genres from the past. Even the cast are references - Sonny Chiba (Hanzo) and Michael Parks (recurring sheriff) etc are chosen because of the movies they previously made (Bill and Pai Mei too in part 2 but no spoilers here). Tarantino just turns all of this into the tastiest gumbo. That's his genius. Oh - the feet close-up? That's *very* much a Quentin thing. 😬

[@tonygibson5171]

I wouldn’t say he robs. QT has always talked about and showed who his influences were and constantly goes on and on about 70s cinema and pop culture. Id say a director who is now respected as a “genius”that robbed was Jordan Peele in get out. All that praise for a movie that is The Stepford Wives, but he creatively choose to replace women with black people. He’s missing brilliant writing, ect like QT. Also Quentin’s love of cinema and ability to consolidate and pack the past and present into great films ( with great characters and writing) opened up a wave of new films and new ideas that were pretty good. That’s giving not robbing.

[@nevrogers8198]

@@tonygibson5171 yeah I suppose so. I wasn't using the word to denigrate him. But it's true that although I was already aware of many of the movies that influenced QT, there are some that I explored further *after* seeing him reference them, which I might not have done otherwise. Perhaps a better word is "repurpose".

I dont think hes going to do it though. I hope he changes his mind.

The Kill Bill movies are my favorite Tarentino movies. Definitely not his "best" movies but undeniably iconic.

Five Deadly Venoms, Master Killer (36 Chambers), Fist of the White Lotus just to name a few. The bald guy with the mask is Gordon Liu. He was a big Shaw Brothers martial arts star. He starred in Master Killer, Fist of the White Lotus and many others. He plays a character (Pie Mai) he fought in Fist of the White Lotus in Kill Bill 2.
