Tarantino's kung fu chick flick

Rating: 9/10 (4 March 2012)

The first of a planned three part trilogy, Quentin Tarantino is heavily influenced by the Asian kung fu film industry which began in the 1970's. Una Thurman is the bride, a martial arts expert seeking revenge on her former friends who are trying to kill her.
Her former boss and trainer, Bill(David Carradine), has become her enemy because she is marrying someone else. Daryl Hannah, Vivica Fox and Lucy Lui are amongst her former partner assassins now out for the brides head.
Action is the main element in this highly charged and always entertaining fight fest, with excellent battle sequences, the choreography being done perfectly.
The bride travels to Japan to obtain the finest sword possible for upcoming battles. We will, of course, see the deadly instrument of forged steel be put to good use. Tarantino keeps things moving smoothly, as always, the director is a master.
