THERE BE DRAGONS The western tip of Flores is the jumping-off point for the island of Komodo, where the world's largest lizards (or dragons, if you prefer) slink about looking for something to sink their razor-sharp, bacteria-covered teeth into. Make sure it isn't you?the odd foolhardy tourist is known to have been chomped, and even if you survive the attack the wound may become so infected that, without treatment, you could die.

A willowy blonde with wild eyes, clad in a blood-smeared yellow tracksuit, brandishes her Samurai sword, preparing to dispatch three more victims. She grits her teeth. The yakuza scowl back. As sword meets flesh and the three villains slam backwards through a wooden lattice, the mastermind behind the mayhem can't suppress a smile. "Pow!" exults an elated Quentin Tarantino, bounding from his perch beside the camera to congratulate Uma Thurman, the killer blonde...
