  Synopsis
  Submitted by Pete Roberts: "It's been 5 years since Quentin Tarantino has released a film. The last film he directed, Jackie Brown (1997), was not as wild and edgy as his debut Reservoir Dogs (1992) or as unyielding and groundbreaking as Pulp Fiction (1994), but it was a more mature work across the board, as well as being a great love letter to 70s Blaxploitation Queen Pam Grier. It showed that Tarantino was not a one note director. In the summer of 2001, Tarantino finished his newest screenplay for a film entitled "Kill Bill". Kill Bill is a return to pure Tarantino and will add even more gas to the fire in QT's reputation as a "rock n roll director". Tarantino has written a screenplay specifically for his good friend Uma Thurman (Mad Dog and Glory, Pulp Fiction) which contains 30 years of Exploitation films in one. For those who don't know what Exploitation films are, they were films that were made on low budgets but contained BIG Thrills. From the early 1930s to the early 80s, Exploitation films were the popular cinema of inner city Grindhouses and Late night Drive Ins. Tarantino film fans know that among his popular influences in the directing world like Howard Hawks, Brian DePalma and Martin Scorsese, he also is heavily influenced by lesser known cult and b-film directors like Lucio Fulci, Mario Bava, William Whitney and Chang Che among several others. If Pulp Fiction was a nod to French New Wave, Blaxploitation and Spaghetti Westerns. Kill Bill is a nod to Kung Fu, Samurai and Italian Gore films. Kill Bill is a female revenge film at its core, but it will also shine a bright light on these other genres."
