Sweet revenge
QUENTIN TARANTINO whose Kill Bill is all about grisly retribution, insists he always "loved revenge movies. You don't need to be told that much about a revenge movie. You've seen them before; you know what they're supposed to do. Tarantino's favourite vengeance movie is "Rolling Thunder. I saw it on a double feature with Enter the Dragon, and it's better than Enter the Dragon."
On par with Rolling Thunder is 1973's Coffy, featuring Pam Grier, star of Tarantino's Jackie Brown. Other Tarantino faves include John Boorman's 1967 thriller Point Blank, the 1970 remake of Point Blank called Vengeance, Death Rides a Horse and Lady Snowblood a 1973 Japanese samurai adventure about a young woman bred since birth to seek revenge against hoodlums who butchered her family and raped her mother. Finally there is 1990's Revenge, starring Kevin Costner as an ex-Navy pilot squaring off against a wealthy Mexican and his goons, who left him for dead and tortured his mistress.
