ripped of by kill bill...


Kill Bill’s biggest action set piece occurs in a Tokyo restaurant when The Bride takes on a seemingly endless torrent of Yakuza fighters, killing, or permanently disabling every single one of them. The sequence is pretty much a straight cop from Chang Cheh’s 1972 kung fu masterpiece, The Boxer from Shantung, right down to the use of hatchets.

I came here to post the same thing, but i think it was more of a homage than a rip off

No surprise; Tarantino has pretty much ripped off every great cult classic in existence to some extent. I dont look at his films because it seems pointless when the original films he steals from are so much better. (Although i admit his "remake" of Inglorious Batards was impressive.)

Yeah, this movie is better.
