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.

This isn’t an homage.
It’s a ripoff.

Anyone want to defend Tarantino’s ripoff here?

Did you know the magnificent seven was a complete RIP OFF of seven samurai
Like whoa, How could they trick us like this?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

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.

Kill Bill is a BLATANT rip off of Lady Snowblood.

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

Tarantino's made an entire career of ripping off other movies and he's great at it. Most of these movies are fairly unknown to the average audience so he brings attention to lesser known works.

Seems way more “ripoffy” than most.
I like QT’s movies, btw.

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

I think he always relied on that when it comes to plagiarizing.
He figured, shite...I'm a film nerd...nobody has seen these movies except me and a few thousand people in Hong Kong.
It's how he was able to lift not only plots and storylines but directing style and skill in shots and angles from other directors.
There is a shot-by-shot comparison of Tarantino's movies and certain shots that were just lifted completely and copied from other movies.
But it took years and years for people to figure this out because he took from obscure movies and by then QT was already famous.

Pretty much everyone steals from others in Hollywood. Movie enjoyable? Works for me.

Then he should openly give them credit, but he doesn't. If he loves them so much, he doesn't seem to want us to know they exist, except in QT form.

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.

back in the day he would hold screenings at Alamo drafthouse in which he would share his rare film collection
He still does that at his own theater in LA, The New Beverly... He has full programming responsibilities and runs primarily double features..

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.
