Question about Kill Bill spinoff flicks...
Hi. I'd like to get your opinions on the following films...
Lady Snowblood
The Bride who wore Black
That Swedish film "They Call Her One Eye" (aka: "Thriller")
Ichi The killer
Out of all these films, Which one would be RIGHT up my alley, especially for a nice bloodfest/gore/Kill Bill nut like me?
Which one stays closer to the Kill Bill(revenge) theme? Are all of them martial arts films?
Are all these titles available on dvd?

Ichi will make it's region 1 debut next month, so be on the lookout for that (Said to be FULLY uncut) and I heard that One-Eye is on the way as well.
If you want gory, old school samurai action, look no further than the 2 episodes of Lone Wolf & Cub-Sword of Vengeance & Baby Cart to Hades. Sonny Chiba's The Streetfighter is another must-see and for more over-the-top Kung Fu bloody mayhem, you can't go wrong with The Story of Ricky.
Though not as violent, be sure to check out some of these other flicks that carry the Kill Bill spirit:
Five Fingers of Death
Death Rides a Horse
Master of the Flying Guillotine
Game of Death (Or more perferably, Bruce Lee:A Warrior's Journey The more action in the track suit, the better!)

Just watched Ninja Scroll (the anime inspiration for Kill Bill) and it was excellant, but not for kiddies.
I found Battle Royale on ebay, it should be here in about a week.

I am certainly glad to hear Ichi is coimng out on R1 uncut...looking forward to that. I haven't seen Shogun Assassin (aka Lone Wolf and Cub) in a long time. What is the best version to get? At HKFlix.com they have a crapload of different versions, but I didn't see Animeigo's version listed. Has anyone seen the Animeigo version? How many episodes of LWaC does the Shogun assassin movie edit together?
I'm looking forward to buying Lady snowblood and One Eye...those sound fantastic.
I wonder if QT ever saw Story of Ricki....
Oh by the way did I mention I met Sonny Chiba 10 years ago? I used to work at a high rise condo he stayed at and would see him often. A nice guy through and through.

I suppose the typical blood gushing which was inspired by films like Lone wolf and cub. the wondering samuari theme? Plenty of stuff that has been around in other films not introduced in ninja scroll.

The blood gushing during the anime part of KB is exactly the same as seen in Ninja Scroll.

Even though this closeup shot wasn't used in the final cut, there were shades of the Jubei/Utsutsu duel seen here.

But Valenti probably isn't as concerned about that film. The Japanese companies that produced Ichi aren't members of the MPAA.
