...next semester, some grad student will be writing a thesis on the B-movie influences on this A+ film. Scholars will note Kill Bill's throbbing samples of music from Asian and Italian action cinema.

It’s a good mix.” Club president Francisco A. Robles ’05 explains that the club also has a social aspect. “We organize Fight Nights where we watch championship fights,” he says.
