Kill Bill 1's structure is quite similar, down to a weird stylized flashback (manga instead of anime here). Her master even looks like an Asian David Carradine! The second isn't much good, but hey, it's basically a bonus feature and the transfer is just as nice  I think you'll like the first one at least quite a bit. |
I watched the 1st one few days back (borrowed from library) due to comparison with Kill Bill (which I love)...I did not like Lady Snowblood at all...Sure, there is similarity in structure but Tarantino is a much better filmmaker...There is simply no comparison...I am not fan of Samurai type of movies...but it would rank in the bottom part of what I have seen. Anyway I am sure Great Owl, you will love it...because you love all the movies you watch (I wish I could be like that)
