Kill Bill vs Lady Snowblood - Tarantino Ripped it Off

For those who haven’t seen it, Lady Snowblood is a 1973 Japanese movie about vengeance.
It is amazing how alike the movies are and, yes, Tarantino used it as his inspiration for Kill Bill.
Scruffy highly recommends the original.
The movie is even structured in acts like Kill Bill.
Kill Bill is a rip-off.
quote:It even has the characteristic “Tarantino blood splatter”.
A young woman (Meiko Kaji), trained from childhood as an assassin and hell-bent on revenge for the murders of her father and brother and the rape of her mother, hacks and slashes her way to gory satisfaction in turn-of-the-twentieth-century Japan. Rampant with inventive violence and spectacularly choreographed swordplay, Toshiya Fujita’s pair of influential cult classics Lady Snowblood and Lady Snowblood: Love Song of Vengeance are bloody, beautiful extravaganzas composed of one elegant widescreen composition after another.

Wait, you're saying Tarantino ripped someone else off?
No way.
I mean, he didn't rip off.
It surely was an homage.

Anyone want to defend Tarantino’s ripoff here?

I'm a QT fan and I don't care if it's considered a rip off. His best quality is dialogue and that's what I watch for.

That’s like saying every western is a rip-off of the other.
ErMuhGawd like he totally ripped the woman sword fighter vengeance story. There can only be one of those!
Im not a Tarantino fanboy, but this is stupid

I don't care if it is a rip-off, Michael Madsen as Budd is a Top 10 all-time role in a movie.

Picasso, “Good artists copy. Great artists steal.”
Tarantino steals from other movies
I agree w/ that article. Who cares when he is making great movies. They aren't close enough for me to think of the word steal or rip off. More like reinterpret. And all artists do it.

And The Magnificent Seven was a blatant ripoff of Seven Samurai.

It actually sounds like Lucy Liu’s character in Kill Bill is an homage to this movie. I don’t think Beatrix Kiddo was trained as an assassin from childhood to avenge her family’s murder and rape.

That and this, which is often referred to as "Thriller: a cruel picture".
1973 exploitation goodness

I'll have to watch it and look for this scene.

I’m curious have you seen any samurai movie from that era other than lady snowblood?
OMG they all ripped that off from Sanjuro!!!!!!

I think I'd go QT just because of the budget and updated visuals
Plus all that blood just made it fun
I'm actually a bigger fan of pt 2
