Battles Without Honour or Humanity

If you liked Kill Bill you might enjoy reading the production notes (PDF, 42 pages). It lets you in on all the cinematic allusions you missed because you were working, reading, hanging with friends, at the gym--what have you--instead of obsessively watching kung-fu movies. For example:

But [The Bride's] knock-down-drag-out with killer teen princess Go Go Yubari looks more like a form of anime come to life, and it showcases one of Quentin Tarantino’s patented multi-leveled pop culture references:

Go Go’s weapon resembles both the lethal yo-yos wielded by the schoolgirl super-heroines on the long-running Japanese TV series Sukeban Deka, and also the title tool in one of Tarantino’s all-time favorite martial arts movies, Master of the Flying Guillotine (1976).

There's a ton more like that--the kind of stuff that's interesting if you enjoyed the movie. As an aside, I loved Go Go Yubari. My next band will be called The Go Go Yubaris.
