Looking for the series itself? Also in this series: Kill Bill: Vol. 2 (2004)

A loved one avenged street by street, no help from the law
The difference: A rough urban crime drama — brotherhood beats, not set pieces

An enforcer betrayed by his boss and reborn as pure payback
The difference: Korean noir cool — mournful and restrained between eruptions

Betrayed professionals plotting meticulous payback
The difference: Heist-crew caper, bloodless fun

The direct inspiration — a woman forged into an instrument of revenge
The difference: A raw 1973 original — stylized blood, but scrappier craft

Momentum-as-plot, violence played at cartoon pitch
The difference: Gonzo gimmick engine, no mythology

Common ground: revenge
The difference: Sits closer to drama than Kill Bill: Vol. 1 does

Vengeance for a slaughtered family, pursued to any length
The difference: Dour and workmanlike — none of Tarantino's pop style, 30% on RT

Assassin-world mythology with balletic, escalating carnage
The difference: Gun-fu precision over samurai-steel homage

Rage at a gang who took everything, worked out fist by fist
The difference: Melodrama between fights — Hong Kong sentiment runs thick

The same preoccupation in both: revenge
The difference: Leans harder into thriller than Kill Bill: Vol. 1 does

A retired killer's skills reawakened for righteous slaughter
The difference: Methodical vigilante work, no whimsy

One violent night spent settling old debts in blood
The difference: A weary gunmetal thriller — regret, not swagger, drives it
