Return of the King, Quentin Tarantino Bloodies Himself, by Bradley Steinbacher (10/09/03)

Opens Fri Oct 10 at various theaters.

Kill Bill Vol. 1 is being billed as "the fourth film by Quentin Tarantino." This, though, is somewhat of a typo; given the deluge of knockoffs and pale imitations of his work since the release of Reservoir Dogs, you could certainly peg his resumé as much longer.
