So, let me see if I've got this straight. We have a movie that has a weak
plot -- ON PURPOSE -- and unrealistic violence -- ON PURPOSE -- with the
aim
of being some sort of an homage to the Kung-fu movies of the 60s and 70s?
While your premise may be true, I'd say the audience has been duped on
more
than one level here...

Perhaps not for those who read the reviews or Tarantino's promos.

Oh well -- I'll always remember Uma Thurman, in tight leather, neatly
slicing off Lucy Liu's cranium -- and then watching her die.

Yep, that's a lot more entertaining than playing with film history.

Yeah -- a real "classic" movie, this one.

....probably not, but generated a pretty good OT thread.
