4. Kill Bill Vol. 1 - The Brides Child Is Alive
The Film: Tarantino is on a mission to cover as many genres as possible with his frankly impressive CV. Martial Arts, Japanese Culture and Rape and Revenge flicks are on the menu tonight in a two part explosion of glamour, gore and guts. 88 loads of gore and guts, to be precise.
The Plot: Bill is a bit of a dick to The Bride, almost murdering her on her wedding day. The pair just happen to be key members of The Deadly Viper Assassination Squad, a company whose name really speaks for itself. After The Bride recovers from a coma she swears revenge on the entire team who helped hunt her down and murdered her baby.
The Cliffhanger: The Bride has just massacred The Crazy 88 and their notorious leader, O-Ren Ishii, before being exceptionally mean to her best friend and lawyer in order to gain information. She leaves the tortured lawyer alive to warn Bill of his forthcoming demise, where he reveals that he Brides baby is in fact alive.
The Result: Holy revenge flick, Batman! The Bride continues her rampage in glorious style and finally confronts Bill and her very-much-alive daughter. After debating settling down with Bill in what could have been the greatest anti-climax of a revenge flick ever, the film finally lives up to its title and The Bride is free to be with her daughter.
