Cheers Crash, I loved the Kill Bill films but nothing beats the Oldies, loving Good Bad n Ugly trak makes me wanna get my gun an my horse and ride into the sunset and say quotes like "Well do ya...PUNK?" X

I think RZA "scored" (remixed might be the better term) or did the music direction. Either way it was a brilliant mix of the old and the new. That film had such great energy and flow.

@Ingham: I don't know the actual count but the best move he ever made was hooking up with Sergio Leone...I liked his stuff on the Untouchables too...he totally helped make those films classics with his sound...
@changeling: hahaha...I hear you "Dirty Harriet"...
@nicki: I won't say it's the weakest, Dusk Till Dawn went totally out of control at the end...but I say, homeboy's got the means...maybe he'll stumble onto a little greatness every now and then...I didn't sneeze at Salma Hayek's snake dance...or Cheech Marin doing the Mexican carny thing...
@contra: he did, which was really forward thinking of him in that instance...

I agree, I never get sick of watching Kill Bill (either one).
