For some, Toshiya Fujita’s revenge film “Lady Snowblood” will inevitably be linked to Quentin Tarantino’s “Kill Bill vol. 1”, for which it was a major inspiration; Tarantino borrowed aspects of the plot and narrative structure, used the song ‘The flower of carnage’ and let the cinematography inspire him. For all the influence “Lady Snowblood” had on Tarantino, it might be surprising to conclude that the two “Lady snowblood” movies have an anomalous character in Fujita’s oeuvre, as nothing he…

The performances from the Star studded cast were what you'd expect on paper with any other Quentin Tarantino film. Notably, Samuel L. Jackson's portrayal of Major Marquis Warren was excellent.
