Kill Bill, Vol. 1

The first blood-soaked installment in Quentin Tarantino's outrageous homage to Asian action cinema stars Uma Thurman as the Bride, an ex-killer for hire whose wedding rehearsal is brutally cut short by her onetime cohorts in the Deadly Viper Assassination Squad. Left for dead, the Bride awakens from a four-year coma eager for revenge against two former DiVA allies: housewife Vernita Green (Vivica A. Fox) and Tokyo crimelord O-Ren Ishii (Lucy Liu). With Daryl Hannah, Sonny Chiba. 111 min. Widescreen (Enhanced); Soundtrack: English. Two-disc set.
