Where did Tarantino get the Bride idea?

Rating: Null/10 (22 August 2004)

Once upon a time, in 1993, a no name wannabe writer sent a story idea "The Bride" to a Dark Horse comic talent search request, he also sent the opening scenes, where the bride's groom, "Bill" is killed on the altar by her ex-boyfriend, the leader of a bike gang. Still in her wedding dress she chases after the gang taking her revenge one at a time. Nothing came of it, so the writer having a family to feed put the story away until he had the time to work on it. Then the release of the first part of Kill Bill, at first the story was not definite on a story line and the ninja and samurai stuff was not my story. But when the second part came out I knew I had done a foolish thing to send anything to Dark Horse. I've heard Dark Horse would steal anything but at the time I took the chance. I any case, I have to say Tarantino is like the rest of the "has beens" when they haven't got an idea left, they resort to the last option. Oh, yeah in 1995, for a screen writing class I copyrighted a slight version of "The Bride."
