Kill Bill Slayed Me

Nobuko and I saw Kill Bill tonight. If Tarantino was trying to make a comedy he succeeeded beyond his wildest dreams. Here is my Top Ten List of funny things from Kill Bill.
- The “Japanese” restaraunt where everyone is walking around with their shoes on………………. inside.
- The “Kato” masks.
- Gorfon Liu.
- The name on the cereal box hiding the gun that the woman fires at Uma Thurman is Kaboom.
- The motorcycles with katanas hanging off them.
- Uma Thurman flies to Tokyo from Okinawa with a katana on the plane, and its not as checked baggage either. She has it propped up against the wall next to her. That’s right everybody, in Japan you can, in fact you are expected to carry a katana with you at all times.
- Chiba Shinichi as a sushi chef. He must be the baddest, as in bad mother fucker, sushi chef on the planet. 3.Chiba Shinichi’s character’s name is Hattori Hanzo. You kill me Tarantino. 2.The katanas on the plane when Uma Thurman is flying back to the U.S. I guess if you are flying from Japan you can carry deadly weapons on board.
Lucy Liu’s pronunciation of Japanese.

An accurate portrayal of Japan? Nice try Tarantino. Go back to Hollywood!
