Undoubtedly one of the best actions on screen. It doesn't just rely on action, it has a soft, emotional core. Extraordinary piece of cinema!

Tarantino conceived Kill Bill as a homage to grindhouse cinema, including martial arts films, samurai cinema, blaxploitation, and spaghetti Westerns. It features an anime sequence by Production I.G. It is the first of two Kill Bill films made in a single production; they were planned as a single release, but with a runtime of over four hours, was divided in two. Volume 1 was theatrically released in the United States on October 10, 2003. It received positive reviews and grossed over $180 million against a $30 million budget. Kill Bill: Volume 2 was released six months later. The Bride's yellow tracksuit, helmet and motorcycle resemble those used by Bruce Lee in the 1972 martial arts film Game of Death. The animated sequence pays homage to violent anime films such as Golgo 13: The Professional (1983) and Wicked City (1987)
