I think if you read that Dave Kehr article about the sources of Kill Bill you'll find that Pai Mei wasn't QT. There's a whole section on Gordon Liu so he must be real, and I don't exactly think QT's Chinese is so good, Mandarin or Cantonese. I looked it up yesterday and I hate to say such things but for us it's kind of a must-read:

New York Times original source: http://www.nytimes.com/2004/04/11/mo...rtner=USERLAND
also at The Age: http://www.theage.com.au/articles/20...?from=storyrhs

Now I've given away my secret because I intend to crib shamelessly from Kehr's piece to write my review of Kill Bill 2.


Definitely, Kill Bill 1 & 2 is wonderful looking visually. I wonder how he gets that bright, luscious look.
