Tarantino Meets Monty Python

Rating: Null/10 (13 September 2004)

More experienced movie fans might posses the knowledge to compare and contrast Kill Bill's derivation and direction with the readily recognized great movies and directors that came before. However, I think this is QT meets 'Monty Python and the Holy Grail.' How else do you explain the constant dissection of limbs and excessive, eloquent, profusion of blood from the torso's. This is QT paying homage to the fight with the Black Knight in '...Holy Grail.' Overall, the violence is comic book stuff so over-the-top as to be taken as what it is, farce. The plot is beautifully simple. The editing and style are out of the ordinary. The music is outstanding. I give it a 9.
