Please WGH, do not stop posting your reviews.  They so well written and fun to read.  Yes you have an eye for the eclectic and gory but you have pointed me to some fun stuff.  I also liked Amilia Perez and agree with your adventurous comment.

Kill Bill - anyone.

I loved it as a homage to the Kung Fu movies from the Shaw Brothers that I grew up watching. This movie is unlike the girl boss trope we have seen so often recently because The Bride is at the lowest point in her life at the beginning.  Immobile and powerless in long term rehab.  She has to struggle her way back to fighting form.  She isn't awesome from the beginning like Rey Palpatine, they show her rigorous training with the Pai Mei. She isn't like the girl from Argyll who just has to remember how awesome she is and then just beat everyone.
 The way the bride gets out of the coffin is exactly the same as the technique learned by Chi Kuan-chun in the 1974 movie Shaolin Martial Arts.  And it even had Gordon Liu as Pai Mei.  Watching that movie was like revisiting my childhood.

Has anyone commenting on fight scenes ever actually been in a bar fight or a gang fight?  In real life today this type of violence usually ends in gunfire, but if a fistfight it's nothing like seen in movies.

Jackie Chan himself said basically the same thing.
