As the master of ripping off Asian cinema, it was only right that Quentin Tarantino make a sprawling, four hour martial arts-based epic that starred a 6 foot tall blonde white woman from New York. Uma’s character in the movie, The Bride, was trained by white-eyebrowed master Pai Mei, who teaches her the secret "Five-Point Palm Exploding Heart Technique" that lets her actually, you know, kill Bill. In real life, Tarantino recruited Yuen Wo-ping to choreograph the fights—anyone who can make it look like Keanu Reeves knew Kung Fu in The Matrix must be a true master.
